2025 LIVELIHOOD PROJECTS
Introduction

In 2025, Human Concern International (HCI) strengthened community self-sufficiency across Bangladesh, Somalia, and Lebanon through three livelihood projects. These initiatives reached over 3,600 individuals, demonstrating sustainable impact through education infrastructure, orphan care, water access, and shelter assistance.

Project ImpactsL29: Madrasa Construction & Health Camp – Bangladesh

Completed third-floor construction at Al Habib Latifiah Complex Madrasa now serves more than 100 students with modern classrooms, restrooms, and a dedicated health space, expanding educational capacity and creating sustainable learning infrastructure for remote Zakiganj border communities. 196 community members (152 adults, 44 children) benefited from free medical consultations by three specialist doctors (medicine, gynecology, pediatrics), establishing a permanent health service facility within the madrasa.

L30: Orphan Support & Water Access – Somalia

3,000 IDPs (500 households) in Haar settlement gained sustained access to safe drinking water through a rehabilitated borehole, eliminating the time spent collecting water, improving health, and enabling income-generating activities. 205 orphans/university students received comprehensive support: 190 orphans across three centers got school fees, daily meals, furniture, transport, and sanitation; 15 university students received tuition, securing educational pathways toward future employability.

L31: Shelter Rent Assistance – Lebanon

15 vulnerable Syrian refugee households secured stable housing through rent support and legal contracts in Saida, Akkar, Beqaa, preventing homelessness, enabling children to attend school regularly, allowing adults to seek employment without eviction fears, and protecting widows/orphans from exploitation. Families previously without homes or in substandard dwellings now have dignified, secure living conditions essential for rebuilding livelihoods.

Overall Impact

HCI's 2025 livelihood projects delivered tangible economic and social returns to over 3,600 individuals:

• Permanent education infrastructure serving 100+ students annually
• Safe water infrastructure benefiting 3,000 IDPs long-term
• Educational investment for 205 orphans toward self-reliance
• Housing security enabling 15 families to pursue employment/education

These completed interventions directly contributed to household income stability, children's future prospects, and community economic resilience across Bangladesh, Somalia, and Lebanon.
