Project Brief

Bangladesh is a country in the Indian subcontinent that is criss-crossed by a network of 230 rivers, most of them tributaries of the Ganges and Brahmaputra. As a result of snow-melting of the Himalayan glaciers and monsoon rain, the country suffers annual floods with at least a fifth of the country submerged each year.

In 2008, different parts of low-lying Bangladesh have been flooded and up to 600,000 has been stranded by the flood. To help in the disaster relief, CRS sent 2 relief teams in November and December 2008 to Koligram to provide medical aid and conduct children program in the disaster areas.
