Chevron Bangladesh continues to support Habitat for Humanity International, Bangladesh (HFHI-B) in its initiative to build low-cost durable houses for the poor, according to a press release.
A cheque was handed over to Habitat for Humanity International at a simple ceremony held in the city recently.
The fund was given to Habitat revolving loan fund programme to support low income families to improve substandard housing through cost effective means in Modhupur Satellite township.
The ceremony was attended by Kelly Koch, national director of Habitat for Humanity International, Bangladesh, Emelda Snigdha Mallik, its resource development and communication manager, Steve Wilson, president of Chevron Bangladesh, Naser Ahmed, director of External Affairs and and other officials of Chevron.
Ms Kelly Koch, in her speech, thanked Chevron Bangladesh for its continued support to HFHI-B's programme.
"We are very appreciative of Chevron Bangladesh's endeavour and we look forward to this partnership sustaining in future'', she said.
" We are hopeful that our new programme implementation strategy through grassroots level partnerships with community based organisations (CBOs) will open doors to further expand outside of our current programme areas." She added.
Steve Wilson said : "Habitat for Humanity's housing programmes have proved to be very popular initiatives for Chevron's employees, who eagerly look forward to taking part and lending a hand every year."
"I am pleased that through the continued partnership between our two organisations, many families enjoy having a safe, decent and affordable place to call 'home'," he added.
In this project, Chevron Bangladesh's assistance will help improve the household living conditions and economic security of low income and poverty impacted families every year.
