FLOOD EMERGENCY APPEAL JUNE/JULY 2026

Chittagong is under water

Heavy rainfall has flooded Chittagong and the low-lying areas of Cox’s Bazar. Families are sheltering in makeshift tents with little access to clean water, food or medical care. Our volunteers are on the ground now, delivering food parcels, clean drinking water and medicine.

Where your money goes

We work with local partners who tell us what their own communities need. Five areas carry that work.

Education

School places, materials and support for children who would otherwise go without.

Clean water

Tube wells and water plants that give a village a safe, permanent supply.

Medical

Hospital funding, eye care and treatment for families who cannot pay for it.

Shelter & house building

Rebuilding homes destroyed by flooding, and shelter for families with nowhere to go.

Income generation

Helping families build a livelihood so support becomes a start, not a dependency.

Our work, in pictures

Food distribution, winter clothing, clean water and meals for orphans, photographed by our own volunteers in Bangladesh.
