Save the Children (Bangladesh)

Save the Children’s office in Bangladesh is ready to respond if needed as Tropical Cyclone Mahasen approaches the country’s southeastern coastal areas. Cyclone Mahasen is expected to make landfall on Thursday morning. Save the Children has worked in Bangladesh for 40 years, responding during emergencies and providing programs on child protection, health and nutrition, HIV and AIDS, education, livelihoods. After Cyclone Aila in 2009, Save the Children provided 17,000 children and families with safe drinking water, food, safe spaces to play and emergency relief packages. Save the Children is very experienced at responding to natural disasters in Bangladesh and Myanmar.

Save the Children in Bangladesh is the leading child rights organisation with innovative, quality programmes and advocacy, including during emergencies. To maximise impact for children, we use resources efficiently and act with courage, ambition and integrity.

We have been working in Bangladesh since 1970 and today reach over 15 million people each year.
