The Sundarbans is situated in a region prone to a high incidence of natural calamities. Over the past two centuries the coastal areas and offshore islands of Bangladesh, which the majority of the Sundarbans belongs to, have been affected by 35 severe cyclones and storm surges. Increasing the likelihood of flooding events, the Sundarbans region become more vulnerable.
Recent atmospheric depressions caused high rainfall, which submerged the roads and home of the local people. Water level is rising very quickly. People have no other way than moving to a shelter. BEDS along with Village Disaster Management Committee (VDMC) are working together in this miserable time. They are going to each people’s house and taking them to Cyclone Shelter and Training Center. They are taking extra care for children and old people. Together we can minimize the disaster loss and misery.
We are extremely grateful to our donors for their continuous support. We would like to request all our donors to start monthly recurring donations for our project. We are requesting all our donors to start monthly recurring donations. Please click the following link;
Sundarbans coastal region is known as single largest mangrove forest in the world. This forest is also popular for its heritage, diversified biodiversity, natural beauty and also known as the disaster vulnerable area due to its geographic location. The people who live adjacent to the Sundarbans coastal region live under the threat of natural disaster. Every year cyclones visit in this area, wash out the crop lands, fish farms, destroy houses and people died due to several disasters. Beside this, the area is highly saline and people can not grow as usual agricultural products. The people live below the poverty line and depend on the forest resources. There is water everywhere in the Sundarbans coastal region but limited water to drink due to the salinity of the water. Those people are deprived from the basic human needs. They live a miserable life and this winter has made their life more difficult. They are not economically stable to buy enough woolen cloths to warm themselves. As a result, they use to collect dry leaves and fire them to make them warm. They do not have sufficient woolen cloths to fight with this winter. For this reason, the aged people and children are infected with several flue and death rate increased due to extreme cold.
So, it is our earnest request to all our donors to come forward for the aid of those victim people. We hope that all our donors will start monthly recurring donation for the helpless and vulnerable coastal people.

Help to overcome the effect of disasters and Covid
As the Sundarbans coastal region of Bangladesh is in the front line of global climate change; it has to face several natural disasters all over the year. Sometimes, massive disasters occur in this region that devastates coastal life and livelihoods. In the past few gigantic disasters took place here like Cyclone Sidr, Aila, Bulbul, Fani etc. Disaster risks are higher in May and June. Disaster time has come and local people will suffer again due to the upcoming disasters. They do not have such economic condition to have good structured household. As a result, every year they face heavy surge, cyclones and experience the battle with the natural diaster.
BEDS provided emergency relief support to 150 coastal families with the help of GlobalGiving. BEDS supported duck, chicken, sheep, seeds to the villagers. But they still need support to fulfill their basic needs. But currently we are unable to provide those people with direct support as we have no fund available right now.
So, we are requesting all our donors to come forward for the aid of those victim people. We hope that all our donors will start monthly recurring donation for the helpless, disaster vulnerable poor people. Link of recurring donation is as follows;
