PROJECTS 2006 TO 2009: CHRISTIAN AID - ACTION FOR
THE ADIVASI, BANGLADESH
Background
This Christian Aid project supports some of the poorest
people in the world.
 |
In northern Bangladesh, the adivasi,
or tribal people, have traditionally lived in the
forest and survived by hunting and gathering food.
However, some of them have lost their land, often
by being tricked out of it, and so survival is difficult.
Their children suffer from very high levels of malnutrition. |
Through Christian Aid's partner, the Christian Commission
for Development in Bangladesh (CCDB), thousands of peoples
have been supported by a range of initiatives. With the
Guild’s help, CCDB will be able to expand their
nutrition projects, improve water and sanitation provision
and increase education for the children. CCDB also works
to help people make the best use of the land they have
and even to get back some of the land they have lost.
