In Bangladesh 1 out of every 4 people are suffering from immense poverty. Countless struggling families, orphans, widows, children & refugees are in dire need without access to the basic necessities required for their survival.
Children are amongst those bearing the brunt of the extreme poverty, currently 49% of all children under the age of 5 are considered to be undernourished. 31% of all infants will also not survive long enough to celebrate their 5th birthday.
In addition to extreme poverty, the devastation caused by flash floods & heavy monsoon rains further contribute to pushing the region in to deep poverty. As well as causing widespread damage, each year many lives are taken, countless livelihoods are lost & many homes are destroyed.
The country is also currently facing a major refugee crisis. More than 745,000 rohingya refugees including 400,000 children have fled their motherland to Bangladesh in fear of severe violence & persecution.
