Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all countries.

Context

BacharLorai partnered with DrinkWell and Light to Life to distribute water at Shyamoli Ring Road (March 15), ensuring safe drinking water for communities breaking their fast. This initiative honored Ramadan's spirit of solidarity, affirming that access to clean water is a fundamental right, not a privilege.

Our second drive in Noyanogor (May 24) addressed the escalating climate crisis, preempting deadly heatwaves through proactive relief. Both efforts—rooted in justice and compassion—showcase how collective action, with partners like DrinkWell and Light to Life, can turn empathy into tangible change.
