They made it to Bangladesh where they received support. But now because of covid lockdowns, her sons have not been able to get daily work to afford food. "I am very grateful that my family has been provided with hygiene supplies such as masks, soap and washing detergent so we can keep clean and protect ourselves from coronavirus...."

19.01.2022 Long-term change in the global fashion industry will require collaboration. Fashion supply chains are complex - all the way from the cotton field to cutting and sewing the final product. And despite their different styles, headquarters and price points, many of the world’s biggest fashion companies share suppliers... which means that supply chain challenges will not be solved by any one consumer, brand, NGO, or government. Please continue to lift up the voices of garment workers, as you make ethical fashion choices. Remember... each of your small actions can lead to long-term change when we all work together!

Jesus, I pray for the lonely today, may we feel you close. I pray for those who are not alone but feel the burden of being lonely. May you be close by comfort and friend.

05.01.2022 Your Christian partner in Bangladesh has served communities in poverty for 29 years. COVID has greatly impacted their work with Rohingya refugees. "Before covid, children came to child-friendly spaces where they could study, learn, play and make friendships. But when I visited the community in June to distribute hygiene materials and PPE, things were very different. Now due to covid restrictions, children cannot go outside, they are staying inside in very small facilities and... they cannot meet with their friends. They have become very depressed." Thank you for your generosity towards children and families like those in Bangladesh. You are making a real difference in these hard times.
