In the flood-ravaged village of Kamalnagar, Lakshmipur District, Nur Azad Ali and his family of six endure unimaginable hardship. The August 2024 floods destroyed their home, leaving them in a borrowed shack with a leaking roof, exposed to relentless rains and health risks. Nur, once a rickshaw driver, is sidelined by heart disease, while his wife battles recurring kidney stones. Their disabled daughter, abandoned by her husband, cares for a young grandchild, and their other three children face disrupted education due to poverty and debt of 400,000–500,000 taka (approximately USD 4,000). This family’s story, featured in ALO’s People’s Voice 03: A Family’s Struggle for Shelter, reflects the plight of 5 million homeless Bangladeshis trapped by climate disasters and a 28% national poverty rate.
The Safe Abode Initiative offers you the chance to break this cycle. For USD 3,050, you can fully fund a 400-square-foot brick-and-tin home, a deep-tube well for clean drinking water, and a sanitation facility to restore dignity and safety. Every dollar goes directly to essentials: local construction materials, skilled labor, medical support for Nur’s heart condition and his wife’s kidney stones, and debt relief to restart their livelihood. Flexible donation tiers let you contribute at any level—$10 buys school supplies, $75 covers a month of medicine, $500 funds the water well, and $1,000 supports major construction milestones.
Your impact is transparent. Animation Liberate for Organize (ALO), with local community oversight, caps administrative costs at 10% to maximize benefits. You’ll receive bi-annual progress reports with photos and video interviews from Nur’s family, plus a detailed completion report with images and a heartfelt video once the home is built. This campaign aligns with SDG 11 for sustainable communities, addressing Bangladesh’s urgent housing and health crises amid rising climate displacement.
By donating, you’re not just building a house—you’re rebuilding hope, health, and opportunity for a family on the edge. Choose your tier today and join the Safe Abode Initiative to create a lasting change in Kamalnagar. Every contribution, big or small, brings Nur’s family closer to a secure future.
