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. For example, on May 20, 2020 a tremendous cyclone Amphan hit the Sundarbans area and recently cyclone Yash lashed out in this coastal area. Countless households destroyed, trees uprooted, embankments damaged, cultivable farms flooded with saline water. BEDS provided emergency relief support to 150 coastal families with the help of GlobalGiving.
At recent time, Bangladesh is under strict lockdown and the government has extended the lockdown to 10 August 2021. Under this continuous lock down, the life of rural poor has become miserable. They could not go out or other cities for earning their livelihood. They are leading a measurable life. They have no work, no money and no food. 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;
