In August 2024, southeastern Bangladesh was devastated by severe floods that displaced thousands of families and left entire communities struggling to survive. Torrential rains, compounded by the sudden release of water from upstream dams, submerged 11 districts— including Feni, Cumilla, Chattogram, and Noakhali. The floods have destroyed homes and infrastructure, leaving many families without basic necessities like food, water, and shelter.
While major relief organizations focus on the hardest-hit areas like Feni, ABWE is partnering with a local church that serves a lesser-known community about 35-40 kilometers southwest of Feni. This church has identified over 330 families in desperate need of help, and we are stepping in to provide critical relief as they begin their recovery.
What We’re Doing
ABWE, in partnership with the Bangladesh Association of Baptist Churches and other local organizations, is delivering essential supplies to the affected families. Our immediate response includes:
- Food packs and clean water
- Rehydration saline packets
- Cooking gas
- Hygiene supplies and basic medical care
These families represent various ethnic and religious backgrounds—Christian, Hindu, Muslim, and Buddhist households—all living in extreme difficulty. By supporting this relief fund, you can help these 330 families and more as we continue to work with our partners assess the needs in other areas.
How You Can Help
- $50 provides food and water for a family for one week.
- $100 supports a family with hygiene supplies, cooking fuel, and clean drinking water for two weeks.
- $250 helps a family recover by providing food, water, and basic medical care for a month.
Our prayerful goal is to raise $22,500 to meet the needs of these families. Every dollar given makes a direct impact as we work together to bring Christ’s love to those suffering from the aftermath of this disaster. If we exceed our goal, additional funds will be used to reach more families in other flood-affected areas.
Join Us in Prayer
In addition to financial support, we invite you to pray with us for the families in Bangladesh who are facing incredible challenges. Pray for their safety, for the relief teams working tirelessly on the ground, and for the local partners ministering to their communities. May the Lord grant us to be the hands and feet of Jesus, bringing hope, relief, and truth to those in need.
