In order to address Rohingya Refugee crisis and supporting to the Host Communities, BASD implemented 6 following Projects in Ukhiya, Cox’s Bazar among several camps and served the communities through madicines, Corona prevention equiptments, tents, buckets, installed solar pannel, water tank, waste dustbin. Besides, BASD trained-up permaculture design course (PDC) both in Rohingya and host communities so that the targeted beneficiaries have been practiced vegetable gardening through organic fertilizers using their  lands and homestead and thus being able to consume those in the families and ensured nutrition intake. The communities properly used local seeds in their gardening through different beds, using vermin compost, liquid compost, herbal pesticices, produced huge vegetables which are totally chemical free as well. Presently, they continued to work in the garden, produced huge vegetables, selling those and earning money even.
