UPDATE (Aug 30):
Alhamdulillah! Because of your generosity, we were able to feed around 1200 flood affected families in the last 7 days. However, we are not done yet. The following next steps are even more important:
Food distribution on Aug 26 and Aug 29:
Current Situation (Aug 24):
"The situation is going from bad to worse"
In Bangladesh, the death toll climbed to 132 while some 7.5 million people have been affected by this year’s floods, according to the Disaster Management Ministry.
Water from upstream and incessant monsoon rains continue to inundate large parts of Bangladesh. As of 18 August, flooding has left 70 people dead and nearly 5 million people marooned in nearly 25 districts (out of 64) in Bangladesh. Deputy Director IFRC Asia Pacific region, Martin Faller said "More than one-third of Bangladesh and Nepal have been flooded and we fear the humanitarian crisis will get worse in the days and weeks ahead".
The North is the most affected. Vast areas in Rangpur, Nilphamari, Dinajpur, and Kurigram, and Gaibandha districts have gone under water after the flood, triggered by downpour and onrush of water from the upstream, broke several flood protection embankments in the northern districts.
Food and drinking water crisis
Flood affected people are reeling from a drinking water and food crisis because of insufficient relief materials. Your little contribution to the affected people can help alleviate their sufferings and bring them
The flash flood situation in the haor region is taking a massive toll on Bangladesh. Many are saying that this is the worst crop damage in recorded history. 200,000 hectares of croplands ready for harvesting have been destroyed, and this harvest supplies the region with staple food for the whole year. Approximately 213 metric tonnes of fish and 3000 ducks have also died, leaving families in the poorest region of the country with no source of livelihood.
$10 would feed a family for a week
Our food basket will include:
Don't let good deeds pass by you
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, (PBUH) said, “Whoever relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, Allah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever helps ease someone in difficulty, Allah will make it easy for him in this world and in the Hereafter". [Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim]
Attain the pleasure of ALLAH in the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah
The Prophet (PBUH) said, “There is no deed that is better in the sight of Allah or more greatly rewarded than a good deed done in the (first) ten days of Al-Adha” [Al-Bukhari]
Project Kombol is an initiative taken by two civil society organizations, BANDHU Foundation and Garbo Bangladesh Foundation, which has a vast network covering 34 districts.
Using this network, we are connecting Dhaka based social development projects with NGOs operating outside Dhaka. Armed with local knowledge, these local NGOs will help identify and distribute tokens among vulnerable individuals and communities who suffer the most during a natural or man-made disaster. They will facilitate the clothing distribution process, and make all arrangements for proper distribution before the clothing drive teams arrive from Dhaka.
With the help of these local NGOs, we have identified several remote and hard to reach communities. We raise funds to distribute reliefs in these neglected places. In the initial stage, it was only for winter clothing distribution. That is why it was named ‘Project Kombol’ which means blanket. But using the same network we can provide any help to the remotest area where needy beneficiaries are found.

Project Kombol | Update on Flood victims in Bangladesh | Urgent winter relief for Rohingya Refugees | LaunchGood
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
May this message reaches you all in the best states of health and Iman.
Alhamdulillah! In the last few months, we have distributed relief baskets to 1200 flood affected families, organized a medical campaign and supplied necessary medicines to more than 350 flood victims in Gaibandha district. In addition, we have distributed more than 650 lb of seasonal mustard seeds to the 150 village farmers at Kamarerpara and repaired 7 houses of a remote island at Fulchori, both in Gaibandha district. All of these wouldn't have been possible without Allah's help and your extreme generosity.
However, the disaster resilient shallow tube-wells that we were trying to install on our surveyed areas, has delayed once again for the reoccurrence of flood in those areas. Our team is ready and waiting for the water level to go down so that we can implement the project as soon as possible.
We would like to take advantage of this opportunity to make another important announcement. Probably you are aware of the fact that hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees have taken shelter in Bangladesh after a brutal crackdown by the Myanmar army. Most of them do not have proper shelter and clothing. They are in desperate need of your help to survive this winter. So please share and support our recently launched campaign to help the Rohingya refugees.
