Where your sponsorship money goes

In Purbapara, Bangladesh, climate change and rising prices are making life increasingly difficult for local communities. Shazida, a farmer and small-business owner, has been directly affected by these challenges. She struggles to water her fields because petrol prices have risen by more than 70%, making farming far more expensive and threatening her family’s food security.

Shazida’s situation reflects the wider human costs of the global food crisis, where climate shocks, inflation, and limited resources converge to create hardship for families who rely on small-scale farming.

With support from organizations like ActionAid, farmers like Shazida can access training, tools, and advocacy programs that help them adapt to climate change, manage rising costs, and protect their livelihoods. By supporting women like Shazida, communities gain the resilience needed to weather economic and environmental shocks, ensuring families can continue to farm, earn, and feed themselves.

Fundraising helps women like Shazida access training, tools, and support to adapt to climate change, manage rising costs, and secure their families’ food and income.
