Bangladesh is rarely thought of as a typical tourist destination but those who make the effort to visit are fully rewarded. Straddling the delta of two of the biggest rivers in the world, Bangladesh is a maze of winding waterways, fertile farm land, culture, history and warm, friendly people.
Christian Aid currently funds more than 15 partner organisations in Bangladesh who are involved in both short-term emergency relief and longer-term development.
In Tangail district, you will discover UBINIG (Policy Research for Development Alternatives), a Christian Aid partner organisation since 2004. UBINIG provides training for women and communities in a wide range of issues such as food sovereignty, disaster preparedness and health.
