The Future
this page features our future plans on how we will help the people of the Sylhet region of Bangladesh
This building needs a new roof. It will cost around £3000 to completely replace the roof. We source the materials locally and employ local builders to complete the work this does 2 things:
1, The school building gets a new roof which will double the amount of classroom space 2, Money is injected into the local economy at all levels
Cataracts, According to the World Health Organization are the leading cause of blindness in the world, they affect an estimated 20 million people worldwide! We want to help! A simple operation can cure cataracts, restoring eyesight immediately. We want to raise £4000 to pay for a team of eye surgeons to take their mobile operating theatre to the villages of Sylhet and restore sight to 500 people!
Clean water changes lives. Girls return to school. Women begin small businesses. Men are no longer too sick to work. Fields are watered and food supply becomes more reliable. Health returns and children grow up to be productive members of their community. The cycle of poverty is broken. Lives change. "When water comes…everything changes."
FACT : A child dies every 15 seconds from a lack of clean water. FACT : 1 in 4 children who die before age 5 worldwide, die of a water related disease FACT : Most people without access to clean water live right above it.
We want to supply tube wells where they are needed in Sylhet
Old Peoples Homes
In Bangladesh Family is very important. We live in extended families so as our parents grow older and no longer able look after us, so we look after them. If old people have no family then problems arise, Bangladesh does not have the facilities to look after old people that we do in Britain . We would like to build some Old peoples homes to house and look after the older members of the community
