......................
The “Alada Ghor” initiative is a set of scenarios and suggestions to assist especially marginalized communities in learning and practicing how to manage, build and maintain space-related systems and behaviors to practice safe distancing, isolation, and quarantine in order to stop the transmission of COVID-19 and stay healthy as a community.

“Alada Ghor”, which means “separate house” or “separate room” in Bangla, is a collaborative action that has been initiated by low-income communities, architects, public health specialists, students, and different professionals of Bangladesh working together.

The journey of Alada Ghor, a 'Rapid Response Community Design', started with a question - how can people in disadvantaged neighborhoods with low resources and living in densely populated areas maintain safe distance and isolation during COVID-19?
