Amar Bangladesh

The Amar Bangladesh (translation, My Bangladesh) Campaign utilizes your donations to support those economically disadvantaged in Bangladesh whose livelihoods have been severely impacted by recent turmoil (including student protests, curfews, nationwide internet disruption, and widespread property destruction). Your contributions will provide cash support in Dhaka, Chattogram, and Rangpur. Depending on the funds raised and identified needs, we may extend support to other regions of Bangladesh as well.

Who are the recipients of the cash support?

We are reaching out to two main groups of individuals:

1. Income-Poor Individuals/Households: This includes rickshaw pullers, day laborers, street vendors, etc., whose livelihoods have been significantly affected by the ongoing turmoil. Some of these individuals may have been physically injured and unable to work, while others may have been unable to work for weeks or have seen their businesses destroyed or burned down.

2. Severely Income-Poor Students: This group includes college and university students who are struggling to meet their basic needs. Factors contributing to their hardships may include medical bills, loss of supplemental income (e.g., tutoring), or being stuck in dormitories and unable to return home.

What is the timeline for vetting and disbursing funds?

We have already been in touch with our vetted implementers on the ground, and they will disburse the funds as soon as we are able to send them.

How will the funds be spent?

Each recipient will receive either dry food or cash support worth, approximately 2,000 BDT. While we understand that some families have greater needs, we are limited by the amount we raise and strive to help as many individuals as possible. Your support can make a significant difference in the lives of those affected. Join us in making a positive impact today.
