Thanks to your purchase and together with Welthungerhilfe, we make hygiene packages and training possible for families in Cox's Bazar.

Did you know that each of our products always contains a social donation? Let's look at Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh, a place affected by several mutually reinforcing crises.

Currently, almost 1 million refugees live in the district of Cox's Bazar. After the outbreak of violence against Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar in 2017, they had to flee across the border to Bangladesh. People live close together in camps. Physical distancing is difficult to maintain, so infectious diseases can spread rapidly. The host communities also need support, as the region has high poverty rates and is severely affected by the consequences of climate change. In 2023, Cox's Bazar was hit by 2 cyclones. Storm surges and flooding are becoming more frequent.

With your care product, you are donating a hygiene product or a hygiene service that supports people in their daily hygiene practices.

How exactly do the hygiene products and services help on the ground?

The distribution of hygiene products may sound rather insignificant at first - but it can make a big difference in preventing infectious diseases. Together with Welthungerhilfe, we are therefore supporting people in Bangladesh with hygiene products, especially girls and women. The fact that menstruation is a social taboo in many communities means that women and girls are often unaware of safe menstrual practices. In addition, there is often a lack of access to menstrual products such as sanitary pads. This can cause infections, for example, or result in girls not going to school. In addition to distributing hygiene kits, Welthungerhilfe also facilitates workshops and training sessions on health issues.

How exactly is a hygiene package financed?

Now back to the donation. How is it transformed into social aid? Together with our partner Welthungerhilfe, we want to give people access to improved hygiene care. As an independent aid organization, however, Welthungerhilfe does not support any products or services. That's why share gives 10 cents of every care product sold to Welthungerhilfe to enable the distribution of hygiene packages and the provision of training.

Project active since April 2024
