    Case study: How trees have helped Rakhi

    ‘I really like planting flower trees. I like my garden more than I like playing!’ Rakhi, Bangladesh   

    Rakhi, 10, lives with her family in an eco-village in southern Bangladesh, an area impacted by the climate crisis and badly damaged during last year’s storm Amphan.   

    Thankfully, Rakhi's mother Ratna worked with local experts from the CAFOD-funded Bangladesh Association for Sustainable Development to learn more about sustainable gardening techniques. 

    The training allowed Ratna and her daughter to restart their own garden and grow their own fruit and flower trees.   

    They already grow their own organic papaya, mango and coconut trees which they can eat and sell at the local market, giving the family an extra source of income.    

    Rakhi told us: ‘I can plant trees on my own. My mother can also plant them on her own. You need to water trees and use organic fertiliser to make them grow. We make that fertiliser at home.’  

    Rakhi is hopeful about the future and has planted over 50 trees and vegetables by now.
