Chittagong Welfare Trust UK is a London-based charity funding food, clean water, shelter and medical care for families in Bangladesh and the UK. Founded in 2000 by volunteers, and still run by them.
Heavy rainfall has flooded Chittagong and the low-lying areas of Cox’s Bazar. Families are sheltering in makeshift tents with little access to clean water, food or medical care. Our volunteers are on the ground now, delivering food parcels, clean drinking water and medicine.
We work with local partners who tell us what their own communities need. Five areas carry that work.
School places, materials and support for children who would otherwise go without.
Tube wells and water plants that give a village a safe, permanent supply.
Hospital funding, eye care and treatment for families who cannot pay for it.
Rebuilding homes destroyed by flooding, and shelter for families with nowhere to go.
Helping families build a livelihood so support becomes a start, not a dependency.
Food distribution, winter clothing, clean water and meals for orphans, photographed by our own volunteers in Bangladesh.
Named, dated and itemised, not pooled totals. Our full record since the trust was founded.
Every pound goes to the projects. Our trustees are unpaid volunteers.
