Flood rehabilitation programme: A large area in Bangladesh was submerged by devastating floods from July to September 2007. Million of people became shelterless. Many people suffered from diseases due to inadequate supply of pure drinking water and lack of food. Disabled people are especially vulnerable during the flood. Government of Bangladesh had started relief programme to face the situation and non- governmental organizations urged to stand by the flood victims. In this context CRP has requested Manusher Jonno Foundation (MJF), the funding body of the project titled “Strengthening the Establishment of Rights of Disabled People in Bangladesh” to extended their support under the contingency fund. In response to this MJF approved support amounting BDT 400000.00 on August 2007. CRP has also appeal to its individual donors and medicine companies to come forward in this regard. Under this programme dry food, oral dehydration supplements and water purification tablets were distributed among the flood affected extreme poor and disabled people.
