Emergency Humanitarian Assistance for preventive measures & Financial Hardship Grants to Extreme poor people in Bangladesh.

The Crisis : Bangladesh is a country situated in South Asia with approx. 160 Million people living in highly dense populated / crowded areas with a very low per capita income of only US$ 141.52 / Month (Ref: World Bank).

With the COVID-19 crisis globally, lock down measures are currently in place all over the country. The poor and vulnerable face loss of income due to the economic crises nationally and globally as a result of the COVID-19. As a result, already poor people, approx. 68 Million people, have become vulnerable due to the economic shock i.e. those in the informal sector, day laborers, rickshaw-pullers, other transport workers, construction workers and street vendors, etc. The country’s major export earner, the ready-made-garments (RMG) industry, which formally employs around 4.5 million workers directly have also faced a loss in export earnings estimated at US$ 3 billion, resulting in layoffs and loss of income for many already poor garments workers. It is a top urgent humanitarian situation whereby we ask you to help the poor and vulnerable in this time With the COVID 19 crisis globally, lock down measures are currently in place all over the country.
