Dear donors,

thank you very much for your donation to help the cyclone-affected people in Bangladesh. Through betterplace.org we received an amount of 5.022 Euro.

With this money we were able to provide 1.167 people a roof over their heads. 1.581 people received surviving packages including soap, diarrhea medicine, candles and ropes. 760 people were provided with food packages.

Daimler Financial Services was project sponsor and supported the project with additional 8.749 Euro.

With your help CARE was able to give people like Lal Mian from Shoronkhola, an especially affected area in southwest Bangladesh, a new life perspective.

„When I left my house after the cyclone hit our village, there was an endless stretch of water and we had no food except for coconuts” remembers Lal Mian. Relief came after three days. “With the food I got from CARE I can support my family for at least seven days. Our presence is secured and we have left ourselves in the hands of destiny and hope. Certainly, something good will come up” says Lal Mian with a mixture of confidence and resignation.

CARE thanks all donors and Daimler Financial Services for their great support.

Best Regards

Astrid Marxen
