Women are on the frontline of a growing crisis in rural Bangladesh. Poverty, inequality, and climate change collide — leaving families in unsafe homes and without basic services. With men often working away, women are left to manage and maintain homes alone, with little support. As floods, storms, and heatwaves intensify, they face repeated loss and hardship. Too many are trapped in a cycle of damage and repair, without the means to build safe, secure shelter.

‘Pathway to home improvement’ equips women with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to build safe homes. AzuKo offers training in construction, housing advice, access to finance, and co-designs homes that work with the climate – not against it. We also advocate for housing justice. Every woman trained becomes a teacher. Every safe home becomes proof of what’s possible. Safe housing opens the door to health, education, and opportunity.
