Amna Bibi is a 10-year-old girl from the district Dera Ismail Khan, Khyber Pukhtunkhwa Province (KP) in Pakistan who has aspired for a long time to go to school in her village. However, her parents are beggars and make ends meet, and with all the financial problems the family has to suffer, Amna was not able to make her wish come true until now. 

Phase 1A of the reconstruction project of the former slum of Baraka in the heart of Senegal's capital Dakar was successfully completed in summer 2020. 127 families were able to move into clean flats with running water and electricity. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has put Bangladesh as well as all other countries in the world under enormous strain. Many people lost their jobs in the South Asian country and were bound to leave the cities. This eventually resulted in an economic crisis and enforced the instability of people’s incomes, especially during the time of the lockdown.
