Amount our few basic needs, housing in one of the most important needs. Even now 80% of the population of the country lives in the village and the housing situation of this poor population is very instable. Due to economic distress situation when most of the rural poor population is busy to arrange food, building a strong, health and permanent house is a dream for them. Apart from it, almost every year their house are damaged by various natural calamities. Repairing or rebuilding the damaged house has become a regular phenomenon. As a result their economic development is being hampered SEBA realized the issue very deeply while working at the field level. Subsequently as a continuous effort to improve the housing problem, from 2007 with the support from Bangladesh Bank, SEBA has started this program in its working areas for the non-sheltered, poor and helpless families.
