Response to Humanitarian Crisis

Bangladesh, located in South Asia along the Bay of Bengal, faces ongoing humanitarian challenges, hosting 1.1–1.2 million Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar and Bhasan Char, while enduring recurrent cyclones, floods, and monsoon disasters. These overlapping crises drive food insecurity, displacement, malnutrition, and waterborne diseases among vulnerable populations. Moderate food insecurity continues in rural areas and refugee camps, compounded by funding gaps, overcrowding, and protection risks. Zakat Foundation of America provides urgent relief and long-term support in Bangladesh, focusing on emergency aid, food security, healthcare, water and sanitation, and livelihood programs, helping refugee and host communities rebuild with resilience, dignity, and hope.

Meet Kalim Uddin, a 70-year-old day laborer from Bakol Jhara, Durgapur, whose cheerful spirit masks the hardships he and his wife face. Though he has three grown children, they are unable to provide support due to their own struggles. Kalim works tirelessly, refusing to depend on anyone, but devastating floods destroyed his crops and damaged his home, leaving the family with little to eat. 

With your support, we delivered a food package to Kalim and his wife, providing essential staples that sustained them during this critical time.

Meet Suchana Haldar, a 52-year-old widow from Pachgaon Tea Garden, Moulavibazar, carrying the weight of a family of five through relentless hardship. Her sons labor in the tea gardens, earning too little for rising food costs, often forcing painful skipped meals. When you stepped in, a vital supply of rice reached her home, securing weeks of nourishment at a critical moment. Your compassion delivered sustenance, dignity, and hope, giving Suchana brief stability and renewed strength to face tomorrow, because generosity transforms hunger into possibility for families like hers
