YOUR DONATIONS HELP US TO SOLVE DISPLACEMENT
Today – and every day – there are tens of millions of displaced people throughout the world who want nothing more than to return to their original homes and lands. With climate change these numbers are set to increase dramatically. Displacement Solutions works to resolve and reverse displacement.
We strive to find concrete and viable housing, land and property rights-based solutions for displaced people everywhere.
YOUR CHANCE TO HELP SOLVE CLIMATE DISPLACEMENT – ONE HOUSE AND ONE FAMILY AT A TIME
If you’ve ever wondered how to solve climate displacement, join Displacement Solutions in ensuring new homes and new lands for the climate displaced people of Bangladesh.
Bangladesh is one of the most climate vulnerable countries on earth. One of the most devastating impacts of climate change in Bangladesh is the forced displacement of people from their homes and lands – as a result of rising sea levels, increasing tropical cyclones, storm surges, flooding, landslides and drought.
But there is a way for these people to rebuild their lives. There is a way out. There is a solution.
That solution starts with land.
In Bangladesh, Displacement Solutions (DS) along with our partners Young Power in Social Action (YPSA) have travelled across the country, meeting with climate affected communities, discussing their needs and options, meeting government officials, NGO leaders, UN officials, academics, journalists and many others. From this work it has become abundantly clear that climate displacement in Bangladesh can be resolved in many cases through providing access to new land for climate affected communities.
BE PART OF THE SOLUTION!
Support our One House, One Family (OHOF) at a Time Project in Bangladesh.
Together with our partners YPSA, we have built 14 houses for highly vulnerable climate displaced families in coastal areas of Bangladesh. We are now commencing OHOF Phase 4 where we plan to build an additional 16 homes.
We need to raise USD 101,000 to provide new, lifelong homes to 16 climate displaced families.
If you ever wanted to DO SOMETHING for climate displaced people, this is your chance to be part of the solution to climate displacement.
You can support the initiative by donating to our GoFundMe campaign.
