In accordance with our foundational mission principles, Habitat for Humanity Bangladesh is committed to the highest ethical standards, has no tolerance for and opposes all forms of discrimination, sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment.
Details of our commitment to safeguarding can be found in our safeguarding policy, or you can view our safeguarding orientation video in English to learn more about what safeguarding is, how to recognize safeguarding violations and how to report them.
Employees and members of the communities where we work are encouraged to report incidents of exploitation, abuse or harassment through our confidential reporting system, the Habitat Ethics and Accountability Line.
Becoming a Habitat volunteer comes with great rewards and responsibilities. Volunteers are representatives of Habitat for Humanity and our ministry. In addition to complying with all laws, regulations and Habitat for Humanity policies, all volunteers are expected to follow Habitat’s volunteer code of conduct.
Habitat celebrates, represents and values the differences of the people we serve in communities around the world, as well as the volunteers and others we work alongside every day. Details can be found in our Housing Opportunities and Mission Engagement policy (PDF).
Habitat is committed to community-driven volunteering informed by ethical considerations. Our resources — from guidelines and training materials to volunteer preparation tools — reflect this. We believe in partnerships built on respect and shared goals, where every volunteer contribution supports meaningful and sustainable outcomes.
