In Bangladesh, one million people live in the world’s largest refugee camp, Cox’s Bazar. Living in tents and makeshift shelters, with food and medical care in short supply, life is incredibly challenging, especially for people with disabilities.
Working alongside some of the most marginalised people
We have been working with our partners in the refugee camp and host community since 2017 to ensure that people with disabilities have the healthcare and assistive devices necessary to live independent lives.
