CARE is one of the world's leading international humanitarian and development organisations, committed to helping people in poor communities improve their lives and alleviate poverty. Founded in 1945, CARE is working across 104 countries to fight global poverty and marginalization. CARE has been active in Bangladesh since 1949 being one of the largest country offices of CARE. CARE works to help people achieve social and economic well-being, while being among the best in their fields. CARE put women and girls at the center of our work because we know that we cannot overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities. CARE Bangladesh is currently shifting towards a program approach, where it has developed longer-term impact visions to have more sustainable changes in the lives of the extreme poor and marginalized.

There is a continuous new influx of refugees resulting in an increase in population at multiple sites, which is overloading existing WASH facilities due to heavy use. Settlements are expanding quickly, with many more people still searching for space to make temporary shelters. There are acute humanitarian needs in the new settlements, especially for emergency/lifesaving WASH support. The shortage of WASH facilities has also raised the risk of AWD outbreaks.

CARE Bangladesh will implement the ‘Provision of life-saving WASH services to the Rohingyas refugee population in Camp-15,16 Ukhia sub-district, Cox's Bazar district’ with a project funded by UNICEF. The location of the project is Ukhia Upazila under Cox’s Bazar district.
