After years of living on a river embankment, Mansur Ali and his family now have a new flood-proof home, which they built in partnership with Practical Action. For the very first time, they can look forward to a flood-free future.

This particular project has now finished, but similar work continues in our Pathways to Poverty project, working with the very poorest in Bangladesh society.
