ACT NOW: MONSOON SEASON HITS REFUGEE CAMPS

Dear -,

As I write, monsoon season is hitting Rohingya refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Camps are experiencing floods – pushing families in already fragile living conditions to the limit.

The large-scale water systems, designed as temporary measures and never intended to serve so many people for so long, now need urgent repair. But heavy rains threaten to submerge outdated facilities and, worse, contaminate water supplies with potentially deadly disease. The risks of waterborne diseases such as dysentery and diarrhoea are real and everywhere.

Will you give today? Your donation could help fund flood-proof tap stands and tubewells, so families and communities can stay free from disease through the monsoon and beyond, in Cox’s Bazar and all over the world.

YES, I'LL GIVE £10 NOW

With your support, we can reach more people who need us globally. Together with our long-term local partners Dushtha Shasthya Kendra (DSK), we can reduce risks and protect against the spread of disease. You can help fund the building of deeper, flood-proof water points and toilets – so refugee families can be sure there is always clean water and toilets, even during the monsoon.

Monowara is from a community that hosts Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar. She told me: "Before, it was difficult and undignified to collect water… now [we] can manage with dignity."

It’s an extraordinary situation: more than a million people trapped in a decade-long disaster. But as this monsoon season hits, your donation will help fund ingenious lasting solutions to communities where they're needed the most:

🪴£25 can help buy ‘vertical’ garden kits so people can grow vegetables up walls and along roofs, providing nutritious food and incomes

💧£50 can support accessible, flood-proof water points and tap stands that stop disease and keep people safe

🚽 £80 can support toilets designed with communities for communities, protecting people’s health, dignity and safety

PLEASE DONATE £10 TODAY

This year’s monsoon rains are adding to the incredible pressure on people and fragile infrastructure, especially water systems. But these sustainable solutions can help people protect their health and dignity, no matter how long this crisis continues.

Please give now and help families and communities get through this monsoon season, in Cox’s Bazar and all over the world.

Thank you for your continued support. Your gift will support more work like this, helping communities build lasting change.
