Bangladesh
Bangladesh faces many challenges: malnutrition, limited access to medical treatment and sanitation are a reality. Natural disasters regularly strike and the country faces an influx of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar. Our teams improve the health of children and their mothers. We strengthen community and government actors to provide access to quality health care. We also train people to be better prepared for natural disasters. In the makeshift camps, Rohingya refugees are supported with emergency aid.
