Lent 2026 Calendar for secondary schools
Daily reflections and activities.
In some parts of the world, there is too little rain. In Bangladesh, there is too much. The result is the same – seeds don't grow, plants die, families go hungry. With CAFOD’s help, communities like Bayezid's in Bangladesh are building floating gardens that are immune to floods, allowing them to grow enough food to eat and sell, helping them make a living.
