Charities Helping In Bangladesh

Save the Children
As a major cyclone bore down on Bangladesh, Save the Children was one of the few humanitarian agencies with emergency responders already positioned in the path of the storm, a remote and low-lying area still recovering from extreme flooding last summer.

In the days leading up to the storm, Save the Children and the government of Bangladesh activated emergency response committees, coordinating with local and national emergency entities on a response. The agency also is coordinating with UN agencies to mobilize food and other resources.

World Vision

World Vision teams are sheltering 20,000 people from the devastation of Cyclone Sidr. Your donation will provide urgent, lifesaving aid to these children and families: emergency food, clean drinking water, blankets, warm clothing and more.

Each donation of $100 provides enough supplies for an entire family.
