Bangladesh
Bangladesh faces many challenges: malnutrition, limited access to medical treatment and sanitation 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 train people to be better prepared for natural disasters. In the makeshift camps, Rohingya refugees are supported with emergency aid.
