“The day after the flood hit my area in Moulvibazar, northeastern Bangladesh, I mobilised my team to deliver emergency relief to the people worst affected.
We learned that the situation in Rajnagar - a remote area in Moulvibazar - was particularly worse. Roads were inundated, and going there by boat was proving to be quite challenging. No one was being able to reach that area with emergency response.
We decided to do it. On our way, there were times when our boat got stuck. We had to get into the water and push it to keep moving.
After a strenuous boatride, our teams finally managed to reach the area, and distributed 400 packets of emergency aid - including food, drinking water, oral saline, and sanitary napkins - to communities in five villages in the area.
As a human resources manager, my area of work is mainly looking after recruitment, payroll preparation, etc. However, when the crisis unfolded in front of my eyes, I couldn’t sit in the safety of my office and do nothing. I jumped into action to support those who needed it the most.”
-AKM Tofail Ahmed, BRAC staff member, Moulvibazar, northeastern Bangladesh.
