Danchurch Aid Bangladesh

Since the early 1980s Dan Church Aid has helped the poor in Bangladesh’s rural districts. Our work primarily focuses on responding to the humanitarian catastrophes.

Dan Church Aid supports our partners in Bangladesh who, among other things, educate the poor in an attempt to improve their knowledge of agricultural work. A significant part of this effort is also focused on getting villagers to unionize and stand together in civil associations and women’s groups instead of trying to make it on their own.

Our focus areas are:

• Inclusive citizenship and accountable governance
• Resilient livelihoods and sustainable food security
• Migrants’ rights
• Humanitarian response and disaster risk reduction

Across the rest of Bangladesh, DCA supports local NGO partners to aid poor and marginalized communities, including women and youth, with programming that reduces poverty through improving livelihood opportunities with innovative approaches toward value chain development.
