Bangladesh's Harsh Economic Realities

Despite its notable economic progress in recent years, Bangladesh has been grappling with various crises that have resulted in significant socio-economic challenges for its population. The inflow of Rohingya refugees in 2016, the impact of COVID-19 and the exacerbation of natural disasters due to climate change have all had a detrimental effect on the livelihoods of many individuals in Bangladesh. The loss of employment and homes as a result of lockdowns and floods have left a significant portion of the population at risk of starvation. It is imperative that we provide assistance to Bangladesh in addressing these pressing issues.

We help Bangladesh fight hunger

We are a diverse group of international volunteers, fundraising for the economically disadvantaged people of Bangladesh. In a food secure world, it is unacceptable to allow people to starve. Thus, our primary goal is to ensure emergency sustenance for those struck by catastrophes. While dry food distribution and cash transfer remain our primary focus, we are also involved in other emergency responses such as providing covid medical supplies, distributing winter blankets, and more recently venturing into WASH projects. We fund rigorously vetted NGOs and grassroots volunteer groups to deliver food when and where it is most needed.

Making Each Dollar Count

Our aim is to collect and distribute donations to NGOs and grassroot volunteers who are making the biggest difference in fighting hunger and helping those in need. In addition to raising awareness and collecting donations, we are deeply committed to using funds most effectively.

Our commitment, expertise, and accountability ensures that every dollar contributed through us is utilized most efficiently. All members of the Nourish Bangladesh team are volunteers and do not work for any of the NGOs or grassroots projects we are vetting.

We urge you to join us in our fight to alleviate the plights of the Bangladeshi people and help save lives from being lost to hunger, poverty, natural disasters, and other emergencies.

A word from our donors

I gave to Nourish Bangladesh because my donation not only helps meet the humanitarian needs of the people of Bangladesh, but also supports an amazing mission. Nourish Bangladesh is not an NGO; it focuses on fundraising and vetting. Through years of experience, first-hand knowledge, and a background in development economics, Nourish Bangladesh is uniquely qualified to direct needed funds to NGOs and grassroots volunteer organizations. I saw this firsthand as a Carleton student participating Professor Bhuiyan’s Microeconomic Development Seminar in Bangladesh. In order to utilize funds to tackle humanitarian crises, it is necessary to 1) make connections with the community, NGOs, government, and other key stakeholders; 2) understand the needs of the community and the socio-economic factors at play; and 3) understand the work being performed by NGOs/volunteers. Nourish Bangladesh developed these needed competencies over years of visits to Bangladesh, building relationships with communities and stakeholders, performing site visits of NGOs, and analyzing development economics research on Bangladesh and countries around the world. I was elated to hear Professor Bhuiyan planned to leverage his platform to put the classroom into action! I urge you to support Nourish Bangladesh any way you can. Your support will make a life changing impact for those most in need!
