Everything COAST does aims at the same thing: that poor and marginalised coastal people can earn a decent living, organise, be safe from disasters, and claim their rights.
Savings, credit, training and technical support that help coastal families build income and assets, run as a socially responsible business rather than a mere service.
Building leadership among the poor so they can mediate their demands with local government, organise around local issues and claim their rights.
Campaigning at local, national and international level for climate finance, tax and debt justice, and a fair deal for coastal people, through the EquityBD platform.
Education, child protection, WASH and social cohesion for Rohingya refugees and host communities in Cox's Bazar and on Bhasan Char, alongside a national campaign for locally led response.
A standing disaster policy, own emergency fund and trained staff that let COAST act within hours of cyclones, floods and tidal surges.
Alternative livelihoods, skills and cash support for fishing families, and advocacy for dignified compensation during fishing bans.
Eco-friendly farming technology, value chains and micro-enterprise for coastal farmers, young entrepreneurs and women.
Primary healthcare, adolescent and child education, and two community radio stations that keep isolated coastal people informed.
Partner with us, support emergency response or join our work. Every contribution reaches families living on the front line of climate change.
