Core Values

As we know, in common parlance, every human being has to meet 5 basic requirements for survival on this earth. These are food, clothes, housing or accommodation, health care and education. Keeping this basic idea, SDI has been working relentlessly across Bangladesh.

Food is the first requirement for every living thing. Then appears the need of covering thyself which is a must for humans. Arranging a certain living place is the third requirement which is equally important for both man and animal. But the key issue that draws a curtain of difference between these two statuses is the level of a human being is notched down to that of an animal without an abode whereas the latter bothers a little about it. Thinking this reality, SDI has undertaken programs for providing shelter to the hard-core poor people especially who are living in rural areas and inside the refugee camps.

Side by side, SDI upholds the universal values of humanity. That’s why it explores the fields of humanitarian assistance, emergency situation, refugee crisis and all other fundamentals of distressed people. SDI leaves no stone unturned to ease the situation for deplorable communities.

Working Peripheries

Changing human lives needs dedication, compassion of heart and useful helping hands. To give hope and vision for future to the poor and distressed people around Bangladesh, SDI has been working in a varied range of sectors. Among all, building houses and erecting temporary shelters, installation of tube wells, distributing food and emergency relief materials, in-kind donation, orphan support, child care service, women and maternity care service, health and education service and capacity building programs are the most notables.

SDI takes a holistic approach to keep all of its components functioning at a time. Yet, there are some sectors and sometimes there arises some emergencies that are to be addressed immediately. Crisis period counts no division. It casts impact over all things simultaneously. So, SDI in that time, creating no discrimination, move forward to help the humanity. Its activities mainly focus on helping the humans rather than selected communities. We have programs for both the people of Bangladesh and the people sheltered in Bangladesh under the scheme of FD-6, FD-7 and FC-1 provisioned by NGOAB.
