Oxfam in Bangladesh

Oxfam works with people in Bangladesh on many different projects.

We help people to prepare for floods by assisting them to build houses on stilts, above high-water level. We also help people on the edge of everyday society, such as tribal people, beggars, street children, and people with disabilities.

Other work involves health education, and helping women to get together to claim equal rights and to have more control over their lives. Often this is done by helping women to earn money of their own, to give them independence.
