Church of Bangladesh (COB)’s work in isolated Netrokona district

by CWM Communications Team

In the foothills of Garo Hills in Durgapur Upazila of Netrokona district, Bangladesh lies isolated villages without safe drinking water and a modern agricultural, sewage and communications system.  Unemployment, child marriage, and trafficking are also rampant.

Shalom, a development organisation of Church of Bangladesh (COB) is trying to tackle three major issues: food security and nutrition; climate change; and local advocacy and rights. Since December 2019, activities such as vocational training and support have been organised for the ethnic Garo, Hajong, and Bengali poor to help them earn a livelihood.
