Just some facts...

To save you looking it up on Wikipedia.

Bangladesh is the 8th most populated country in the world with 160 million people with 1033 people per square kilometre.
Borders India, Burma and the Bay of Bengal.
34 percent of the population is under 15 years old.
5 percent are older than 65.
26 percent of the population live below the poverty line.
98 percent of the population are Bengali.
90 percent of the population practices Islam
Literacy rate around 58 percent.

That being said, Bangladesh has been striving for improvements and has been working towards it with increases in school enrolment, water sources and decreases in poverty. Part of what we are going to do in our work with smallholder farmers is to look at ways to improve their crop yield and market access to increase their income.
