AzuKo

You helped us raise an incredible £21,603. This means we will be able to work with more women, & their families, throughout 2025 to build a brighter future. Huge thank you to everyone who donated - our pledgers, champion & donors - & everyone who helped amplify our appeal.

With less than 24 hours left of the Big Give, will you give the gift of housing this winter? bit.ly/azuko-big-give… Your donation could: • £100... install a new tubewell, providing a family with access to clean, fresh water. • £300... build an improved toilet for a family without. • £500... train 8 women in construction, so they can build stronger, safer homes. • £1,000... design & build 3 new kitchens for families; dramatically improving health & wellbeing. We've reached our initial £20k target, but you can still make a BIG difference. Every additional £ we raise will support people facing housing poverty. Thank you! #ChristmasChallenge

Where we work in northwest #Bangladesh only 8% of people live in durable housing, 67% live & prepare meals on earthen floors, & this region has the highest rate of open defecation (meaning people don't have access to any toilet facility). This needs to change. Give what you can this winter, to build a brighter future: bit.ly/azuko-big-give… #ChristmasChallenge

"When the storm hit in the middle of the night, our roof flew off... We've repaired the damage & built a new kitchen with ideas from the construction training. It makes a big difference." – Bobita For people like Bobita, & her son, your support is a lifeline. We've set an ambitious target to raise £20,000! With your help we will equip over 1,200 people (80%+ women/children) with knowledge, skills & confidence to build climate-resilient homes. Thanks to the Big Give, & Coles-Medlock Foundation, every £ you donate to AzuKo will be DOUBLED until 10th December. Double the difference: bit.ly/azuko-big-give…

Housing poverty is complex. That's why our work goes beyond the building & includes construction training, housing advice, finance support, co-design, construction & maintenance. Help build a fairer world, today: bit.ly/azuko-big-give…

The climate crisis is hitting vulnerable communities the hardest, threatening the safety & stability of homes, & lives. Housing improvements that cost just 5% of the total construction cost can provide much-needed resilience, helping families withstand extreme weather events. You can support our 'Pathway to home improvements' programme by donating today via the Big Give: bit.ly/azuko-big-give… Join us in the fight for climate resilience! #GivingTuesday #ChristmasChallenge

We've reached more women than ever before. Read our latest impact report full of stories & stats: bit.ly/azuko-annual-r… At AzuKo we work side by side with women, & their communities, to solve the housing challenges they’re facing. We provide a pathway of support – building knowledge, skills & confidence. Whether that’s through housing advice, construction training, or hands-on help to repair or construct new buildings. Most importantly, we support people to lead their own development.

It’s time to preheat the oven, flour your rolling pin & host a festive bake sale for AzuKo! Take part in our Bake to Build event (azuko.org/bake-to-build) with friends, at your office, school or in your community. All funds raised will support our ‘Pathways to home improvements’ programme, which helps women to build climate-resilient homes in rural Bangladesh. AND… if you host your bake sale before 10th December 2024, you can donate your funds via our @BigGive campaign so your donation will be DOUBLED. How amazing is that!? One donation, twice the impact!

An evening discussing the importance of accessibility in design & engineering with our friends @ewbuk. Powerful insights shared by @KamranMallick @DisRightsUK @MarshaRamroop @CitywireWealth @TheConferenceC So much more needs to be done in London, UK & beyond, to ensure accessibility & inclusivity are not ‘second thoughts’ in the design of spaces, but guiding principles. Hosted at our office @CMDNCollective - a @TfL meanwhile space!
