Stand for the vulnerable community
By M. Sabrin Ahmed Roty | Project Leader
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.

Shyamnagar upazilla under Satkhira district is one of the most vulnerable area of coastal zone in Bangladesh and also the place where climate refuges are living now. Every year several natural disaster have to be faced by this area. But now a days this area have been facing a new disaster that is shortage of rain. Now it’s the suitable season for paddy cultivation but unfortunately they could not prepare their land for seedlings yet due to shortage of rain. Due to be being late they will miss the season or if winter comes fast the production will be less than 50%. That will lead them to starvation.
BEDS is trying to help them to overcome this situation. Digital technologies will be used in humanitarian action in both natural and man-made disasters. They will be used in humanitarian response to facilitate and coordinate aid in various stages including preparedness, response, and recovery from emergencies.

But as it is very costly and lengthy procedure its very tough to continuing helping them to overcome from this situation.
So, 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 climate refuges people.

Help the vulnerable community
By M. Sabrin Ahmed Roty | Project Leader
The world has faced the Havoc of Covid-19. People lost their job and have started struggling for their basic needs. The people who live adjacent to Sundarbans, live below the poverty line. they depend on the forest resources for their livelihood. The people live in the cycle of poverty and are always in a threat of natural calamities. The area is disaster prone due to its geographic location and every year they are affected by the cyclones and floods.
BEDS has been working since 2013 for the betterment of the vulnerable community. BEDS trained them on fish farming, integrated farming, tailoring and eco-tourism. In Covid-19, BEDS provided relief to the community and also supported sheep, duck, chicken and seeds to the affected community. But the support is not enough for the vast community. They need support of alternative income generating activities so that they can fulfil the basic needs of their life.
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;
