Every year, Bangladesh's Hoar region succumbs to severe flooding, and the impact on the community is devastating. Almost 17,000 women in the area have received grants from CARE to help diversify their income. Some of them have chosen duck rearing because ducks can survive the wet season and flooding, and they provide fat and protein-rich eggs. Photo: 2012 Angela Platt/CARE
