Together Making a Difference

The purpose of TMaD is to enhance educational provision and living conditions in Third World Communities in Africa and Asia. We are currently working with vulnerable communities within Kurigram district in Northern Bangladesh, an area subject to annual flooding, working primarily with established local NGO's who can illustrate current experience in their field of expertise, supported by the local community.

Our first major project included the building of a new brick school (three classrooms and office plus boys' and girls' toilets and separate staff toilet and hand water pump). This opened in January 2020.

Due to 18 months of school closure due to covid-19, TMaD has been able to support with home-schooling, providing hygiene kits for students attending the school as well as food parcels for the most needy during this period of uncertainty.

We have also with the support of JOA approved and completed a WaSH Project (latrines with shelters and hand water pumps with platforms) to provide basic needs to a community in Nageswari, along with hygiene kits as this was so needed and even more so during the covid-19 pandemic.

Schools reopened in March 2022 following a long period of closure due to the covid pandemic. We are happy to hear that the children are now getting back into their school routines.

Our plans now are to expand the school by two classrooms and to provide clean drinking water and hand washing facilities.  The latrines will also be relocated and upgraded, providing better facilities for disabled access.
 
So a busy year ahead.  
 
Look out for our fundraising events, which will be advertised on the Jersey Association of Charities Diary.
 
Thank You for your support.
