A Voice for the Silent Majority
Freedom of the press is a necessary precondition to establish a culture of human rights in Bangladesh, yet Bangladesh has a poor record in this regard. To promote increased human rights, RI is raising awareness among marginalized members of society to the power of media to give them a voice and create change.
RI’s lifesaving health interventions in North Darfur serves 500 women each week with lifesaving motherhood services and cares for more than 1,000 children every week, providing protective vaccines, nourishment, and check-ups. In addition, RI has provided more than 25 local health professionals with training to advance their medical skills.
RI has been working with local communities in Afghanistan and Pakistan to support education and will now work to strengthen literacy through the creation of community-based libraries. The goal of the project is to create libraries that children can access easily and safely, allowing them to learn important life skills in order to build a better tomorrow.
Nearly three weeks after the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti families are in desperate need of food and water. Thanks to over 2,000 volunteers, 430,000 meals of highly nutritious rice, dried vegetables, and essential vitamins were prepared this weekend so that tens of thousands will no longer be hungry. Relief International's emergency response teams in Haiti will provide these life-saving meals to families in hospitals and makeshift living camps in the coming days and weeks.
