Bangladesh
Bangladesh faces many challenges: malnutrition, limited access to medical treatment and hygiene are a reality. Natural disasters regularly strike the country. Our teams improve the health of children and their mothers. We strengthen community and government actors to provide access to quality healthcare. We also support children to avoid hazardous exploitative labour. In the makeshift camps, Rohingya refugees are supported with emergency aid.
