Coastal people getting safe water
Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change, as well as one of the most disaster-prone countries. Bangladesh’s flat topography, low-lying and climatic features, combined with its population density and socio-economic environment, make it highly susceptible to many natural hazards, including floods, droughts, cyclones and earthquakes.
The Sundarbans (world’s single largest mangrove forest and UNESCO World Heritage Site) is situated in a region prone to a high incidence of cyclonic storms. Recent disastrous cyclone Yash has created a deep sore to the life of local community. BEDS, together with the Village Disaster Management Committee (VDMC) members are working to mitigate the misery of vulnerable people. They are providing drinking water and first aid support to the vulnerable people. Also trying to raise fund for their rehabilitation. Beside that disaster preparedness program is going on regularly.
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;

People are taking shelter during cyclone Yash
Very Severe Cyclonic Storm Yash was a relatively strong and highly damaging tropical cyclone that made landfall on 26 May 2021 in the Sundarbans coastal region and brought huge significant impacts. A massive economic loss occurred due to the recent cyclone Yash. Luckily no life hazard has been reported so far. BEDS staffs together with Village Disaster Management Committee (VDMC) members have started working 7 days before attacking the cyclone to mitigate the loss and damage due to the cyclone.
VDMC members went door to door to aware people and during the hazard, they helped people to reach them at BEDS ‘Cyclone Shelter and Training Center’. BEDS provided cooked food to the people who stayed at the ‘Cyclone Shelter and Training Center’. Due to this preparedness, no life loss happened during this catastrophic cyclone. The local community thanked BEDS and VDMC members for their support and cooperation
