Caritas Bangladesh aims to clean up health for hill tribes by 2015


(February 09,2011) Caritas has launched a new campaign in Bangladesh’s southeastern Chittagong region, to boost government efforts to provide good health and sanitation for all by 2015. The “Communication for Development drive” sponsored by UNICEF, United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund, is receiving technical support from international NGO, Action Aid. The new campaign began on February 7, with the start of a four-day staff orientation program in Bandarban district. Mintu Marma, Caritas’ project coordinator said “We’ve started the project with a vision and mission to support the government attain health for all by 2015. We will be working with teachers, students, guardians and committee members. The key is to change behaviour regarding health issues among rural tribal people who are poor, downtrodden and lack knowledge about good sanitation and leading a healthy lifestyle, he told ucanews. “We will prioritize children in our activities, because they are the future of the family and nation,” he added.
