Congratulations to the 2023 #HiltonPrize recipient, @OneAcreFund! This outstanding organization helps Africa’s smallholder farmers increase crop yields through resilient farming practices that address #foodinsecurity and #climatechange. https://t.co/JJrleiZCrI

It's heartwarming to see how @BRACworld Humanitarian Play Labs help children heal and build resilience, but one of the ripple effects is their impact on para-counselors and Play Leaders drawn from local refugee and host communities. Learn more in @ipsnews: https://t.co/wp46ydwcKc

Could @BRACworld's approach be a model for other development organizations wanting to reach localization goals?

For those in the D.C. area, @KeoughGlobalND is hosting a lunch and panel discussion at its Washington office exploring the power of dignity in global development. It should be a fascinating discussion -- we hope to see you there. @BRACworld https://t.co/CLQ8ptSg4X

It was an honour to welcome South Sudan Education Minister @AwutDengAcuil to Bangladesh and to @BRACworld . We look forward to working closely with the Ministry of General Education to provide opportunities to millions more children in South Sudan to receive quality education.

#CycloneMocha 🌀 serves as a stark reminder to us of the devastating effects of #ClimateChange. We must #ActNow to combat this global crisis & protect our planet 🌍 #ClimateActionNow @UNDPClimate @stefanliller @van_ntn

[BRAC @BRACworld]

Anima Rani Sarker has lived through two of #Bangladesh’s strongest cyclones. As #CycloneMocha approaches, she is preparing for the third. What is it like to live in a constant phase of rebuilding? Read Amina’s story in @tbsnewsdotnet: https://t.co/OWmLXOe6ys

[BRAC @BRACworld]

It's #MothersDay, and our #communityhealthworkers and #volunteers, most of whom are mothers themselves, are spending the day evacuating #pregnant and #lactating mothers to safe locations ahead of #CycloneMocha in #Bangladesh.

[BRAC @BRACworld]

Livestock are the only assets many people in #extremepoverty have - so our teams are trying their hardest to get them to shelter ahead of #CycloneMocha. 🐐🦺

[Abdusattor Esoev @AbdusattorEsoev]

Very worrying forecast of Windy, which unfortunately shows the #CycloneMocha is expected to hit Cox's Bazar and in and around #Rohingya Refugees Camp! If this prediction is right the negative impact of it would be devastating!

[Isabel Siddique Whisson @IsabelWhisson]

As #CycloneMocha heads towards Cox’s Bazaar where #Bangladesh hosts the world’s largest refugee camp @BRACworld are bracing ourselves to prepare communities and respond to urgent needs. You can support here https://t.co/LFOMc1EXQX

“CYCLONE COMING! CYCLONE COMING!”

All hands on deck as #Bangladesh braces for #CycloneMocha. Tidal surges of 2m are likely to wash away coastal villages, submerge islands and put the world's largest refugee camp at risk. BRAC is on the ground and scaling up its response.

[BRAC @BRACworld]

Schools in the #Rohingya camps are being prepared for #CycloneMocha. 🚧

Roofs are getting tied down, solar panels being removed and learning materials are being stored safely. 📚🦺

[BRAC @BRACworld]

Trucks loaded with water containers are on their way to be distributed to people living in #BhashanChar, to ensure safe #drinkingwater on the island during and immediately after #CycloneMocha in #Bangladesh 🚰🚚🦺
