Shelter assesment after the Sidr cyclone in the Thana Mathbaria - Barisal Division - Bangladesh

One week after the SIDR cyclone, Solidarités carried out a first three weeks assessment focused on water and sanitation aspects in Mathbaria Thana, Barisal District. Since the 1st of December 2007 a partnership between Gonoshto Kendro (GK), a Bangladesh NGO and Solidarités have been established to implement a 5 months project and provide drinking water to the affected population in Mathbaria area.

As Solidarites had specific professional and technical expertise in construction of shelters, we decided to conduct an assessment focused on post-SIDR cyclone housing conditions with the vulnerable households in the Mathbaria Thana,  Pirojpur Division.
