The community of Shribordi has graduated

In 2022, the community transitioned from sponsorship to self-sufficiency and World Vision is no longer on site. Because of the dedication and partnership of sponsors like you, local people and organizations have been equipped to continue leading the community’s development – and that is something to celebrate!

Program Details

With the help of your generous and loving support, life in Shribordi has transformed. Children and families are much stronger now. The community has met its goals, they have graduated to self-sufficiency and World Vision has left the community to help another one. Your support will have a lasting impact for years to come.

Context
The rural community of Shribordi (pronounced shree-bor-dee) is located about 176 kilometres north of Dhaka, Bangladesh's capital city. The area's geography ranges from jungle in the north to marshlands in the south. It's densely populated, with people often living in houses made of bamboo, straw, and metal sheeting. Many areas of the community experience major flooding in the monsoon or rainy season, which lasts from June to October. Flooding destroys homes and crops, making it difficult for parents to sustain their livelihoods and provide for their children....
