Qatar Charity provides water in Bangladesh
Qatar Charity (QC) has reached out to Bangladesh which is caught in the grip of a drought.
QC started a project in Nouga, which has suffered a shortage of drinking and irrigation water and other basic services, resulting from a drought in the region.
The project is wide-ranging in the facilities it is offering. It comprises 12 water units with networks for the people and lands, a health centre with outpatient clinics, inpatient beds and laboratories and a school for children, at a cost of over QAR2m.
Homeless child inspired him to help hundreds
It was a day playing with plastic bottles that changed Korvi Rakshand’s life. Named one of 10 inspirational Bangladeshis last year, Rakshand was born to a wealthy family. But he turned his back on money and for the past eight years has been running an NGO in one of Dhaka’s biggest slums.
