GFI has distributed ceiling fans to climate-affected school children in Bangladesh
Project Name: Help Educate 27 Climate-Affected Children Initiative
Project Overview
The “Help Educate 27 Climate-Affected Children” initiative aims to provide educational support to children impacted by climate change in Bangladesh. Through this project, the Green Fund Initiative is committed to creating a conducive learning environment for climate-affected children, ensuring they have the necessary resources to pursue their education despite the challenges posed by environmental changes.
Objective of the Activity
One of the primary concerns during the summer months in Bangladesh is the extreme heat, which can create a significant barrier to children’s ability to concentrate and learn effectively in the classroom. To address this, the Green Fund Initiative made it a priority to improve the school environment by providing much-needed infrastructure support.
Recent Progress
In line with our project’s goals, we successfully distributed 10 ceiling fans to a local school in Jamila Memorial School, Netrokona to combat the intense summer heat. This school serves as the learning center for the climate-affected children we are supporting through this project.
