Barisal, a coastal area in south-central Bangladesh, faces some of the country’s highest rates of food insecurity, malnutrition, and vulnerability to natural disasters. Safe and Sound is based on in-depth interviews conducted in a typical coastal community during the last year of Save the Children’s Jibon o Jibika (Life and livelihoods) program. Woven around JOJ's three key programming areas—health and nutrition, food production, and disaster risk reduction—the book helps readers understand the challenges and opportunities facing communities in this unique region. As the project winds down, it also serves as a celebration of the changes families in Barisal have made—and a reminder of how much more remains to be done to ensure every child is able to grow and develop to his or her full potential.
