Many have lost their homes, families, wealth, and sense of security. Currently residing in Bangladesh as Forcibly Displaced Myanmar Nationals (FDMNs), they continue to confront significant challenges in their daily lives.

This crisis has significantly affected livelihoods, drinking water sources, and agricultural supplies, particularly in coastal regions where saltwater intrusion into freshwater sources is most prevalent. In response to this escalating challenge, the Southern Charity Foundation (SCF) launched the Water Storage and Distribution Enhancement Program.

- [Community Sanitation Improvement Project](https://scfbd.org/community-sanitation-improvement-project/): Community Sanitation Improvement Project In Bangladesh, despite advancements in various sectors, 118 million people—about 69% of the population—lack access to safe and sanitary toilet facilities. This deficit creates hazardous living conditions, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children, women, and the elderly, and facilitates the spread of diseases. The challenge is especially acute in urban slums, refugee camps (including Rohingya camps), and rural areas, where overcrowding and inadequate sanitation exacerbate health risks. To tackle this pressing issue, the Southern Charity Foundation (SCF) has launched its Community Sanitation Improvement Project. This initiative aims to provide safe and hygienic toilet facilities to [&hellip;]

Approximately 40% of the population, or around 70 million people, lack access to safe water, especially in rural, plain, and hill tract regions. This scarcity poses serious health risks, including waterborne diseases, which can significantly impact community well-being. To tackle this critical issue, the Southern Charity Foundation (SCF) has implemented its Sustainable Water Access Initiative.

Factors such as floods and supply chain disruptions have made basic food items unaffordable for many. To address this pressing issue, the Southern Charity Foundation (SCF) has launched its Zero Hunger &amp; Nutritional Security Program to support vulnerable individuals who are finding it hard to meet their dietary needs. Each food pack contains essential items to ensure balanced nutrition, including: Rice: 25 kg, Oil: 2 kg, Potatoes: 5 kg, Onions: [&hellip;]
- [Qurbani Community Sharing Initiative](https://scfbd.org/qurbani-community-sharing-initiative/): Qurbani Community Sharing Initiative Eid ul-Adha is a moment of joy and celebration for Muslims globally; however, for Rohingya refugees and underprivileged communities in Bangladesh, this festive occasion often remains out of reach. To bring joy and enhance the sense of community during this time, the Southern Charity Foundation (SCF) organizes a special Qurbani Program. With the generous support of compassionate donors, SCF facilitates the sacrifice of cows and goats, ensuring that these vulnerable communities receive a share of fresh meat—a vital resource that may only be available to them once a year.

- [Empowerment Through Sewing Machine Distribution](https://scfbd.org/sewing-machine-distribution/): Empowerment Through Sewing Machine Distribution In Bangladesh, sewing has long been a traditional skill among women. With the burgeoning Ready-Made Garment (RMG) industry, which employs approximately 80% of its workforce as women, there is an increasing demand for skilled labor. However, many women face barriers to entering this industry due to financial constraints, urgent household needs, and the existing socio-cultural context. To address this gap, the Southern Charity Foundation (SCF) has launched a proactive initiative aimed at empowering vulnerable women through the distribution of sewing machines. This program not only provides essential tools for self-employment but also includes comprehensive training [&hellip;]
- [Transportation Support Initiative: Van & Rickshaw Distribution](https://scfbd.org/van-rickshaw-distribution/): Transportation Support Initiative: Van &amp; Rickshaw Distribution In Bangladesh, rickshaws and vans serve as vital modes of transportation, particularly for economically disadvantaged individuals. These vehicles represent a unique opportunity for income generation, as their operation does not require the payment of income tax or formal registration, making them accessible livelihood options for the poor. To support these vulnerable populations, the Southern Charity Foundation (SCF) has successfully distributed 20&nbsp;rickshaws and 15&nbsp;vans to extremely impoverished families. This initiative is designed to empower individuals by providing them with reliable means of income generation. To ensure the sustainability of this program, SCF conducts regular [&hellip;]
- [Livestock Distribution for Sustainable Agriculture](https://scfbd.org/livestock-distribution-for-sustainable-agriculture/): Livestock Distribution for Sustainable Agriculture Agriculture remains a cornerstone of Bangladesh’s economy, contributing 12% to the GDP and engaging 65% of the rural population in farming and agricultural activities. However, the devastating impacts of climate change and the growing number of climate refugees have displaced countless farmers, leaving many without land and forcing them to seek refuge on khas land (government-owned property). These vulnerable communities often struggle to rebuild their livelihoods and achieve financial stability. To address these challenges, the Southern Charity Foundation (SCF) has launched the Livestock Distribution for Sustainable Agriculture Program, a transformative initiative designed to empower displaced [&hellip;]
- [Watercraft Distribution for Livelihood Enhancement (Boat)](https://scfbd.org/boat-distribution/): Watercraft Distribution for Livelihood Enhancement (Boat) In the riverine regions of Bangladesh, particularly in the southern areas, communities grapple with severe challenges due to river erosion, climate change, and other adverse environmental factors. Many residents, primarily fishermen, depend on boats for their livelihoods. Unfortunately, the harsh reality is that they often rely on Mahajans (moneylenders) to rent these essential vessels, incurring exorbitant interest rates that consume nearly 80% of their income in loan repayments. This situation leaves them with minimal financial resources for their families. To combat this cycle of exploitation and promote sustainable livelihoods, the Southern Charity Foundation (SCF) [&hellip;]

- [Ablution Facility Development Initiative](https://scfbd.org/ablution-facility-development-initiative/): Ablution Facility Development Initiative In Bangladesh, particularly in rural areas, access to adequate washroom and ablution facilities is often severely limited. This lack of infrastructure presents challenges in a predominantly Muslim country where the need for ablution (wudu) is crucial for daily prayers. To address this pressing issue, the Southern Charity Foundation (SCF) has proactively constructed 252&nbsp;ablution centers in underserved regions where such facilities are scarce.

- [Road Construction Project](https://scfbd.org/road-construction-project/): Road Construction Project In the coastal regions of Bangladesh, road infrastructure is vital for sustaining local livelihoods, providing essential access to education, healthcare, and commerce. These communities frequently face severe challenges due to environmental factors such as river erosion, waterlogging, and damage from flash floods, which necessitate ongoing road repairs and reconstruction. In recognition of these challenges, the Southern Charity Foundation (SCF) has initiated efforts to construct durable roads that enhance connectivity and resilience in these vulnerable areas.

- [Educational Infrastructure Development](https://scfbd.org/educational-infrastructure-development/): Educational Infrastructure Development Education is a critical pillar for a nation’s progress, yet Bangladesh experiences significant disparities in educational access and quality, especially between urban and rural areas. In urban centers, the literacy rate reaches 84%, while in rural regions, it is considerably lower at 74.6%, compounded by high dropout rates. Various challenges hinder rural educational attainment, including distance to schools, limited resources, and economic pressures that compel children to work rather than attend school. In response to these issues, the Southern Charity Foundation (SCF) has undertaken significant initiatives to bridge the educational gap by constructing 7 schools, including 4 religious [&hellip;]
- [Masjid Rehabilitation and Restoration Initiative](https://scfbd.org/masjid-rehabilitation-and-restoration-initiative/): Masjid Rehabilitation and Restoration Initiative In response to the urgent need for safe and functional places of worship, the Southern Charity Foundation (SCF) has launched a significant initiative to reconstruct 27&nbsp;mosques across various regions in Bangladesh. Many of these mosques have suffered from the impacts of natural disasters, neglect, and challenging socio-economic conditions, which have hindered their ability to serve their communities effectively. The primary goal of this reconstruction effort is to restore essential religious and community spaces, thus reinforcing social bonds among residents. By revitalizing these mosques, SCF aims to promote unity and enhance communal harmony, ensuring that these [&hellip;]
- [Community Development through Masjid Construction](https://scfbd.org/community-development-through-masjid-construction/): Community Development through Masjid Construction In Bangladesh, especially in rural and semi-urban regions, mosques (masjids) play a crucial role as centers for community cohesion and development.

To date, SCF has constructed 125 Disaster Relief Housing units specifically designed for individuals displaced by cyclones, often referred to as climate refugees.

These refugees endure extremely harsh living conditions due to overcrowding, inadequate shelter, and vulnerability to severe weather. To improve their circumstances, SCF has constructed 350 Temporary Shelter Solutions, offering more secure and durable protection from harsh weather conditions like heavy rains and cold.
