Our Home After Sidr One year on, over a million still homeless

"The high tide took my eight-year-old daughter, and I had my 4-month-old son in my lap. I held him close to me. When I was under water, I tried to hold him up, but he died before I could do so...Then the water whisked him away it too," Shaheda from Barguna shared her horrific experience during cyclone Sidr, the second most devastating cyclone to hit Bangladesh in a century. For almost a year Shaheda and her husband have been living in a makeshift home, surviving as day-labourers.
