SPIRIT

Our Bangladesh-based programme SPIRIT stands for Sport for Protection, Resilience, and Transformation. The programme is based in the Kurigram district and Dhaka slums, which are areas hugely affected by climate change. Through sport we’re focused on helping young displaced people in these regions overcome the many environmental challenges they face so they can shape a brighter future for themselves.

Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change, with devastating effects on the availability of water and food, and on its infrastructure. 

This Olympic Refuge Foundation-funded programme focuses on the Kurigram district, a region in the north highly susceptible to events such as flooding, and the slums in the capital Dhaka, where a large number of inhabitants have been forcibly displaced from the northern districts by climate-induced disasters.
