Meet Bayezid and his community in Bangladesh, and find out how your fundraising will let love grow this Lent.
In some parts of the world, there is too little rain. In Bangladesh, there is too much. The result is the same – seeds don't grow, plants die, families go hungry. With CAFOD’s help, communities in Bangladesh are building floating gardens that are immune to floods, allowing them to grow enough food to eat and sell, helping them make a living.
