Drowning is a leading killer of children in Bangladesh. In a country where 40 children drown every day, a creche place can be a lifesaver. So our Creches for Bangladesh appeal aims to fund community-led creches and protect thousands of children from drowning and if you give before 28 April, your donation will be doubled by the UK government.

How will your donation help? It helps to fund childcare that could save lives. It helps give young children a safe place to learn and play in a country where drowning is an everyday risk. It helps to provide a sustainable, community-led facility that boosts childhood development. Just £30 could pay for a whole year of childcare for one child.

If you donate by 28 April, and all public donations* will be doubled by the UK government, allowing us to protect even more children from drowning.

*Donations will only be matched by the UK government if they come from within the United Kingdom. Donations from the Republic of Ireland (or any other country) will not be matched.
