River erosion in Dhaka: help the Orchard settlement rebuild
Neighbors in the Orchard settlement are rebuilding after the river erosion; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Bangladesh1,045 views
The river erosion hit the Orchard settlement on 2 August. My home was one of 83 damaged, and 14 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
The first few days we shared what little we had. Now the cleanup has started, but we've no money for materials and winter or the rainy season is coming.
Schools in the area have been closed, and the clinic lost its cold storage for vaccines. We're a small community of working families who have never asked for help before.
We have formed a volunteer committee, and I'm the treasurer, so I'll post receipts for everything we buy.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $460
• Clean water and purification supplies: $90
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $155
• Food parcels for displaced families: $105
• Tools and labor for repairs: $290
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Good luck, Abdul. I hope things turn around soon.

Hope things get better soon, Abdul. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Dhaka

Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Columbus so I could bring a meal. Take care.
You're not alone, Abdul. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Dhaka.
