WHAT WE DO
WELL BEING AND RESILIENCE
Disaster management and climate change
Bangladesh is widely recognized as a country that is extremely vulnerable to the effects of climate change due to its geographical position and low-lying flat topography. Within the past 15 years, the country has experienced an increase in the frequency and intensity disasters. A lack of awareness and coordination among the general people about disaster preparedness, climate change and its impact makes the Bangladesh population even more susceptible to the effects of natural disasters.
Health, nutrition and population
Water, sanitation and hygiene
Ensuring proper sanitation in rural schools is still a challenge. Access of safe water and provision of proper sanitation in schools are as important to acquire a quality education as books and pencils. Moreover, schools are an excellent platform for hygiene education and learning of overall proper hygiene practices, such as hand washing, drinking safe water, and using hygiene latrines. Additionally, the program helps provide separate latrines for girls in secondary schools, since most girl reach their menstruating age during this time. For better management and maintenance of the facilities, school WASA committees and student brigades work in more than 5,600 secondary schools. Additionally, the schools are encouraged to create a fund to meet water and sanitation related expenses.
