Current situation 

During the 2024 monsoon floods, thousands of families were displaced and homes destroyed. Among the affected areas was Feni district, where many families lost everything they owned, including Abdul Ahad.

The challenge 

Abdul's physical disability had already made life difficult for him, but he persevered to provide for his family by completing small odd jobs. His home, which had been his only source of security, was completely washed away by the floodwaters. The loss of his property left Abdul and his family homeless and without any resources.  

How did we support?

GRF provided hot meals, dry food and a food parcel to Abdul’s family. 

Hot meals ensured that Abdul’s children no longer went to bed hungry, and the food parcel allowed his family to sleep peacefully, knowing they had food for the coming days. This emergency relief was a turning point for Abdul’s family, enabling them to begin the process of rebuilding their lives. Abdul’s spirits were lifted, and he expressed immense gratitude for the timely support that helped them in their darkest hours.

What Abdul said

"I had lost everything in the flood – my home, my belongings, my ability to provide for my children. We were hopeless and hungry. But when we received the food from GRF, it was like a light shining in our lives. My children could eat, and we could sleep without fear. I am deeply grateful for this support, which gave us a reason to hope again."
