Agriculture plays an important role in the livelihoods of the people in Bangladesh. Monsoon season brings heavy rainfall and strong winds, increasing the risk of floods and landslides and exacerbating poverty and economic insecurity. The Rohingya crisis in the neighboring country of Myanmar has also greatly affected the country. Bangladesh is home to what has quickly become the largest and most densely populated refugee camp in the world.

Thanks to you, we’ve been able to accomplish so much. But there’s still so much more to do. By continuing to support our efforts in Bangladesh, you can help make a difference in the lives of those in desperate need.
