School-cum-Cyclone Shelter- In 2007 BADRC raised about $10K for charity work in Bangladesh. After the devastation caused by Cyclone SIDR in the coastal areas of Bangladesh in 2007 the community members decided to fund establishment of a Cyclone Shelter in the cyclone SIDR affected area. After formal assessments and deliberations BADRC decided to fund construction of a School-cum-Cyclone Shelter in Kakrabunia, a remote village in Rampal Upazila, Bagerhat. Tender for the construction was invited and an agreement was signed in January 2011 with the construction company Nazmul and Sons of Khulna for a contract amount of about TK. 33.35 lacs. The completed Shelter was inaugurated in March 2012. Currently the shelter is being used as a primary school for the children of the local area which has no other schools.
