climate-Bangladesh-GermanyBagerhat, Bangladesh: Germany has granted Tk 50 lakh (50,000 euros) for the extension of a project at Jaymoni in Bagerhat.

The money will be used on education and sensitisation of up to 1000 people in the area of the project, implemented by the German NGO Kindernothilfe.

Two precaution committees will be set up in two villages and they will be given emergency kits. They will also carry out simulation of emergency situations to better prepare the local communities.

The region of Mongla was battered twice by cyclone Sidr on November 15, 2007 and Aila in May 25, 2009.

Kindernothilfe cooperates with two other German NGOs ‘Helpage and Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe’ which are implementing projects in Khulna and Bagerhat.

Germany in two years has given Tk 6,12,00,000 to the catastrophe precaution projects in the areas battered by Sidr and Aila.
