Help families in Bangladesh survive hunger and natural disasters
For many people living in Bangladesh, every day is a struggle, and a growing hunger crisis combined with increased risks of natural disasters is threatening even more lives.
Right now, one in four people cannot get enough nutritious food to stay healthy in Bangladesh.
Many people in Bangladesh are also vulnerable to natural disasters like devastating cyclones, flooding and landslides, which destroy or damage their homes, agricultural land, schools and hospitals. As the impact of climate change worsens, the weather in Bangladesh is getting more extreme and dangerous.
We’re working with local communities to reach vulnerable children and their parents with the emergency food and support they desperately need to step out of poverty and develop their capacities to recover from disasters. But we can’t do it without your support.
Will you help tackle hunger in Bangladesh and give families the support they need to stay healthy?
Among them, nearly a million Rohingya refugees like Ayesha* and her child Anwar* (7 months)* live in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, where they face poor, cramped conditions and are frequently at risk from flooding and cyclones. Hunger is all too common in the overcrowded camps – and it will have a life-long impact on young children.
Despite the challenges brought by Covid-19 and extreme weather events, we are continuing to reach the most vulnerable. From Rohingya refugees and pavement dwellers, forced to live in informal settlements, to populations vulnerable to the effects of climate change, we provide urgent support and help to build sustainable livelihoods.
