Welcome to Friendship

Friendship is a value based organization, established in Bangladesh by Yves Marre and Runa Khan Marre in 1998, to identify and reach the poorest of the poor and the most marginalized communities. With an aim to provide essential basic services in the most inaccessible and hard to reach areas Friendship works in the chars and riverbank areas of northern Bangladesh.

Through a highly innovative and effective service delivery mechanism Friendship has served more than a million poor, marginalized people living in the char areas. Presently, the organization is working across the borders of Bangladesh through formation of Friendship International which is working with the same sincerity and commitment in Pakistan for the well being of the poorest of the poor.

Bangladesh is a reverine country. Every year flood becomes a reality for the poor reverine people. This yearly-flood comes from the northern side of the country specially flooding the river Jamuna and its surrounding districts like Kurigram, Gaibandha, Jamalpur etc. This year 2008, the flood alarming bell has already been rung. Friendship’s field staff informed that some of its working areas have flooded which are Mollar char, Baze Chituliya, Saper Char, Sedai, Batikamari, Kapashia of Gaibandha upazilla, Gaibandha; Fozlupur and Arendibari of Fulchori upazilla, Gaibandha and Holdia of Saghata upazilla, Gaibandha. Diarrhea, dysentery, skin diseases, lack of drinking water have been found in some char areas where Friendship Satellite Clinics are regularly conducting to provide medical support to the flood victims.
