CRS has been providing humanitarian assistance to Bangladesh since its independence in 1971. We began by assisting refugees and then gradually moved to education, emergency response activities, and helping communities prepare for disasters. CRS reaches out to Bangladesh's most vulnerable people, especially in isolated areas.
In the past, CRS has implemented projects funded by the U.S. Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) to reduce coastal communities’ vulnerability to natural hazards and support recovery of shelters, waster, sanitation and hygiene following disasters and a USAID project focused on community-led livelihood restoration and risk reduction, among other projects.
