Youth Against Covid-19

Location: Bangladesh (Barishal, Chittagong, Comilla, Dhaka, Jasshore, Khulna, Mymansingh, Rajshahi, Rangpur, Sylhet)

We are a youth organization supported by The Hunger Project Bangladesh. There are mainly 35,000 registered youth volunteers all over the country. In this COVID19 crisis more then 5000 youth currently taking many initiatives in their community. The most amazing this is, the funds for these initiatives are mainly organized by the local youth. They raise a fund and then they work. We are currently doing many programs, such as awareness camping with leaflets and pestering, spraying disinfectant, distributing masks/soap, hand washing campaign, distributing essential food for the vulnerable people, online live programs for mental health, book review contests for the book lovers. Most of the reports you can find in the facebook group.
