This is the second cross-sectoral case study brief which cuts across the various themes of MHT’s work.

MHT assisted Zarinaben shift from a makeshift shelter to a house with reliable electricity connection, water services and an attached toilet. She has also worked for the welfare of her community and currently serves as the president of the only RWA.
