The devastating flash floods in Bangladesh have left almost 5 million people without their homes, without food and without hope.
Already 23 people have been killed by the ravages of the sudden floods in Bangladesh, and millions more have been left with nothing, trying to survive in an environment which is deadly. The scale of the devastation is overwhelming, and urgent help is needed.
ActionAid is already working with our local teams on the ground in Bangladesh, delivering vital emergency supplies to the survivors in the Noakhali District including medicine, water purification tablets, food and dignity kits.
But, as Country Director for ActionAid Bangladesh says:
“Entire families have lost everything – we are working tirelessly to provide relief”
While continuing to support women and families right now in the aftermath of the flooding, we won’t stop there. Families in Bangladesh have lost livelihoods, as well as lives – and our long term work will not only repair basic sanitation and hygiene infrastructure in the areas affected, but also support the community to rebuild their own homes and livelihoods.
Please help us be there for the millions affected by this unimaginable disaster.
How your support will make a crucial difference
Any donations received for this urgent appeal will go directly to our team in Bangladesh, to ensure we can be there to support more women, men and children during this crisis – when they are at their most vulnerable.
In Bangladesh, we have already reached hundreds with lifesaving food and emergency supplies and already, are working with teams to increase our response in the coming days. But we need your support.
Please, make an urgent life-saving donation to help women and families in greatest need today.
Where your money goes
90% of your donation will go directly to supporting the Bangladesh Food Appeal.
10% of your donation will be retained for ActionAid’s Emergency Action Fund which will only be used for ensuring we are prepared and able to respond quickly and more effectively to future emergencies and crises.
If the total amount raised for this appeal exceeds the funds needed for the response, ActionAid will transfer the remaining balance to the Emergency Action Fund. All Gift Aid claimed on donations will fund ActionAid’s work across the world, wherever the need is greatest.
