The Bangladesh Relief Fund is dedicated to help reduce poverty in Bangladesh and provide its people with hope and opportunity for the future.
Recently, some of the worst floods in decades have submerged almost two-thirds of the country. While hundreds have died and many more suffer from the diseases that tend to follow large natural disasters, the principal challenge is that of reconstruction and prevention. To help Bangladeshis through this natural disaster, the Bangladesh Relief Fund is conducting a campaign to raise $1 million. The funds will be used both for short term relief as well as for longer term poverty alleviation projects.
We invite you to learn more about the country and its problems (including the recent floods) by following the adjacent links.
Thank you for visiting the Bangladesh Relief Fund.
