Each year, millions of families lose homes, land, and livelihoods to forces beyond their control. Give Bangladesh stands beside them- helping people adapt, rebuild, and grow stronger through local solutions that restore hope and protect nature.
Despite contributing only 0.3% of global greenhouse-gas emissions, Bangladesh suffered losses of roughly USD 3.72 billion and 185 extreme weather events between 2000 and 2019. Soil salinity has risen nearly 26% in four decades, threatening food, livelihoods, and health across the delta.
An area equal to nearly 18,000 cricket fields has vanished from the Sundarbans in a century. Give Bangladesh works alongside climate-vulnerable communities to foster adaptation, enable rapid response, and build lasting resilience.
Koyra · coastal beltThe problem - Koyra lost 17,800 hectares of tree cover in 2023, leaving 3,000+ residents exposed to cyclones and salinity.
What we do - Community-led planting with scientific species selection, local seed collection, and guarded aftercare.
Khulna · coastal youthThe problem - The students most affected by climate change get almost no structured climate education.
What we do - Interactive climate and mangrove-ecology modules, plus weekly student-led tree monitoring that builds lasting leadership.
Chittagong Hill TractsThe problem - Springs run dry from December to May; women and children walk hours for often-polluted water.
What we do - Gravity-fed pipelines, submersible pumps, and community reservoirs bring clean water straight to villages.
Kurigram · Gaibandha · SirajganjThe problem - Floods submerge ground-level tubewells, cutting off safe water for 2–3 months every year.
What we do - Elevated 5–6 ft double-platform tubewells keep water flowing straight through the flood.
Shyamnagar · KoyraThe problem - Salinity affects 34 million people across 16 districts; groundwater carries arsenic and iron.
What we do - Patented rice-husk filters make saline surface water drinkable, sold pay-as-you-take by local micro-entrepreneurs.
Coastal beltThe problem - Salt, flood, and drought are shrinking what coastal land can grow.
What we do - Adaptive crops and resilient farming that hold local food chains and incomes steady through extremes.
Coastal womenThe problem - Washing menstrual cloth in saline water drives infection - some women take pills to stop periods in the dry season.
What we do - Menstrual cups that last 7+ years, with doctor-led training and peer ambassadors - minimal water, safe and sustainable.
