Habitat for Humanity International–Bangladesh (HFHI-B), with funding from the Climate Bridge Fund (CBF), is implementing a three-year project in four climate-vulnerable informal settlements (slums) of Satkhira Municipality. The project targets primarily climate-induced migrants and aims to increase resilience through (i) community mobilization and women-led CBO strengthening, (ii) sustainable livelihood support, (iii) climate-adaptive housing ecosystem improvements, and (iv) climate-resilient WASH services and infrastructure. The intervention areas are Kukhrali Boshpara Colony (Ward 6), WAPDA Par Colony (Ward 7), Miah Saheber Dangi (Ward 5), and Roichpur Bagbati Colony (Ward 7).

A baseline study (June 2024) established benchmark values for Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Several outcome indicators were at 0% at baseline, while year-round safe water access and gender-sensitive sanitary toilet use were 23% and 30% respectively. The baseline also documented recurrent cyclones/flooding, waterlogging, poor housing ventilation/daylight, and inadequate gender-friendly WASH facilities.

As the project approaches closure (April 2026), HFHI-B will commission an independent End-line Study to measure changes against baseline values, assess achievement of Result Matrix targets, identify lessons and good practices, and generate recommendations for sustainability, scale-up and future programming.
