Emergency Relief

We have committed to $6,000 from our emergency relief fund in response to the Australian fires. Through Good Neighbors Australia, a total of AUD 10,000 will be donated to OzHarvest across a 6-month period.

On August 16th, a fire broke out in the Chalantika slum of Mirpur-7, in Dhaka, Bangladesh, about 3 km away from the Mirpur School, which is the focus of our Save a School campaign. Although there were no deaths reported, at least 10,000 people are now homeless.

Today is World Refugee Day. It is hard to comprehend the strain of uprooting your family to flee a war zone. Reaching safety is just the start of a long journey to belonging and finding new opportunities.

It has been less than a month that Cyclone Idai killed over 1,000 people in the region and now there is a storm threatening to make matters worse. With about 83 km/h winds so far, Cyclone Kenneth is expected to strengthen in the next days.

Good Neighbors has an emergency relief team on-site to assist survivors of Cyclone Idai. Aid workers are struggling to reach victims due to the catastrophic amount of wreckage and submerged areas.
