Relief Efforts Summary
About
Whilst the original activities of the Quasem Foundation have been Eye and Maternity health, due to the location of the foundation in climate-vulnerable Northern Bangladesh, we have naturally had to respond to the critical needs of the population. Given the worsening effects of climate change, this has included floods, cold weather, and other types of disaster relief. With around 20 established distribution sites, we are able to reach the most isolated communities. In 2020, our activities have included:
1) COVID Relief: Approximately 3,000 packages distributed
2) Flood Relief: Approximately 12,000 packages distributed and
3) Cold Weather Relief: Approximately 9,000 blankets distributed
