You are invited to our NLA Exhibition - Celebrating our Success! (3 March - 28 April 2018)

Visit the exhibition by Mannan Foundation Trust which is hosted by NLA (New London Architecture) at the Building Centre in Central London. We are celebrating our community led project in a remote village in Bangladesh, the Rajapur Women’s Literacy and Healthcare Centre, this exhibition illustrates the collective effort of the professionals living and working in London, who kindly volunteered for this charity project.

The Rajapur Centre has been delivered by Mannan Foundation Trust, a UK registered charity which helps disadvantaged people living in rural Bangladesh. The aim of the Centre is to address social issues and gender inequality. The Centre empowers disadvantaged women by providing income generating and literacy skills and offers free healthcare for the community.

This project is not only set to transform the lives of women in Rajapur, but will be a template that can be used in many rural communities across the Indian sub-continent. This is a transformative project led by a London based, young British architect (our Trustee Tumpa Fellows) of Bangladeshi origin, passionate about improving the lives and health of the next generation of women in Bangladesh.
