OBAT Canada is a volunteer-based registered charity that embraces a holistic approach in supporting impoverished communities and individuals to break free of the poverty cycle. We support initiatives at home in Canada and in South Asia, where we are committed to providing aid, healthcare, education and economic empowerment to displaced and disadvantaged communities, including Rohingya refugees.
Can you imagine going to bed worrying how you will feed your children in the morning or hearing the cries of your young ones because they are so hungry?
Lack of clean water causes disease and adds an additional layer of burden and complexity for those trying hard to fight their way out of endemic poverty.
Happy international education day! Our student beneficiaries are post-graduates in the School of Hard Knocks... we think elementary and high schools are a better place for them. Transform lives with us. obatcanada.org
No matter where you go, one thing is for certain: every child loves toys!
OBAT's 'Think Tank' youth group in Chittagong organized a program yesterday at the OBAT High School and handed out toys to children with health issues and disabilities from the displaced population camps! 🙌😄 The program was also attended by OBAT team members, prominent members of civil society, and of course, our awesome 'Think Tank' youth leaders!
We are so pleased to share the story of Abdul Razzak, 24, who lives with his family in D Zone Camp in Ishurdi. Due to his physical disability he's been confined to his home for most of his life.
OBAT recently distributed wheelchairs and the joy was palpable, the happiness contagious, as Abdul Razzak left his home for the first time, surrounded by his family and neighbours. They crowded around him as he toured their camp area, excited to have him amongst them. ♿😍
Now Abdul Razzak will be able to engage in his community and experience the many small joys in life we often take for granted. Congratulations Abdul Razzak, your courage and determination are an inspiration to us all! 💪🙏
Having access to sanitation facilities keeps women healthy, safe and dignified. More than 200 women in Hatikhana displaced population camp used this bathroom for years, struggling with the lack of privacy.
OBAT Canada recently repaired this bathroom to provide clean, safe sanitation (check out the before and after pics). 🚺 Everyone deserves this dignity.
