We’re thrilled to share that LEDARS has launched a pioneering Climate Change Loss
and Damage project in Asasuni upazila of Satkhira district, Bangladesh! Our project
kickoff workshop at Officer’s Club Asasuni on May 14, 2024, was a resounding
success, bringing together key stakeholders to disseminate project information and
brainstorm innovative ideas to combat climate change-induced loss and damage in one
of the most vulnerable areas of coastal Bangladesh. Presided over by the esteemed
freedom fighter, Mr. Abdul Hannan, and graced by the presence of Mr. Rony Alam Nur,
Upazila Nirbahi Officer of Asashuni upazila Satkhira, as Chief Guest, the event was an
inspiring display of collective commitment.

Funded by Christian Aid Bangladesh, this pilot project aims to empower communities
and foster resilience in the face of climate adversity. Special guests including Upazila
Agriculture and Senior Fisheries Officers, Social Welfare Officers, Women & Child
Affairs Department officers, UP Chairman of Asashuni Sadar, and Protapnagar union,
joined us to champion this cause. Mr. Samsuzzaman, representing Christian Aid
Bangladesh, delivered a stirring address on Humanitarian and Resilience Building,
setting the tone for collaborative action.

We were honored to have vulnerable community members, NGO representatives,
media personnel, and civil society members join us, emphasizing the inclusive nature of
our efforts.
