The Crumpled House

A small boy plays in his only home, a house crumpled by river erosion caused by heavy floods in Bangladesh. Despite the damage, he finds joy in his surroundings. Sadly, studies show climate change will worsen riverbank erosion, with an expected increase of 13% by 2050 and 18% by 2100 along Bangladesh’s major rivers. This boy’s playful spirit shines through, reminding us of the resilience of children in the face of challenges, even as the threat of climate change looms large over their lives.
