Due to the massive humanitarian crisis caused by Cyclone Sidr World Vision's initial aid plans — to help rebuild homes for 50,000 survivors in seven hard-hit program areas where we work — have been expanded.

"The scale of the devastation is enormous," said Vince Edwards, World Vision's national director in Bangladesh. "There is need wherever we look."

World Vision, with a long history of work in the country, is now seeking funds of around $15 million to expand relief operations to assist devastated children and families outside their programme areas.

Please donate to assist those who are in special need at the moment.
