Your support is critical to helping women farmers in Bangladesh build sustainable futures.
Few countries are suffering from the climate crisis as much as Bangladesh. Extreme weather events are hitting this low-lying country with greater force and frequency, decimating harvests. With many families in Bangladesh already struggling to put food on the table due to the global cost of living crisis, food shortages caused by climate disasters are likely to push more people into hunger. Here, as elsewhere, women and girls are most vulnerable.
Your generosity has already changed lives.
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, women in northern Bangladesh are using innovative and sustainable techniques to grow nutritious food for their families and entire communities. By working together to take control of how their food is produced, women are also taking control over their lives.
Rozina, 33, is living proof that a little training and investment can turn lives around. After receiving chickens from ActionAid and successfully breeding them, Rozina was able to buy cattle and then some land. She is now financially secure and helps other women do the same.
‘Many women started working after being inspired by me and now, most women in my village are involved in farming.’
Rozina, who is survivor of child marriage, is also determined her daughter, Sumaiyah, will finish her education and not marry until adulthood. “My daughter will not be a victim of child marriage. I will make sures she has a smooth path.”
Your donation will help more women like Rozina access the tools they need to thrive, creating lasting change for entire communities.
Together, we can build stronger, more resilient communities.
