WASH Program: Long-Term Commitment to Bangladesh
As part of its longstanding WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) program and commitment to ending the water crisis, UMR has been building wells and restoring water systems in Bangladesh for years, benefiting tens of thousands of people. In the Rangpur and Sylhet divisions, UMR recently installed 15 new tube wells and repaired water systems damaged by monsoons to ensure clean water access for flood-affected communities. Additionally, water purification units were distributed to households in need, providing immediate relief and safeguarding families from waterborne illnesses. These efforts are part of UMR's broader mission to create sustainable, long-term solutions that improve access to safe water for vulnerable populations in Bangladesh.

Combating Hunger in Bangladesh: Ramadan Food Baskets and Qurbani Meat Distribution

In Bangladesh, UMR combats hunger through seasonal programs designed to provide immediate relief to vulnerable families. During Ramadan, UMR distributes food baskets filled with essential staples such as rice, lentils, cooking oil, and dates, ensuring families have the nourishment they need to observe the holy month with dignity. Similarly, during Qurbani, UMR distributes fresh meat to families who rarely have access to protein-rich meals, allowing them to celebrate Eid with joy and share festive meals with their loved ones.

While these seasonal programs are not long-term solutions to food insecurity, they play a critical role in addressing immediate nutritional needs and bringing temporary relief to families facing hunger. Beyond alleviating hunger, these initiatives foster a sense of hope and community, allowing families to partake in cultural and religious celebrations with dignity and happiness.

Through these efforts, UMR not only nourishes bodies but also uplifts spirits, reinforcing the importance of solidarity and compassion in humanitarian work.
