Feed the Fasting & Covid19 Support 2020 - 2nd distribution

We mobilised our trusted volunteers on the ground to deliver vital food packages to people most in need during this Ramadan. The situation was further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and strict lockdown measures across Bangladesh, making earning a living or ability to purchase food or essential goods virtually impossible!

The 2^nddistribution led by our trusted volunteer on the ground Mohammed Koyas Hosen, managing a team of volunteers. These volunteers travelled to the remote parts of Sunamgonj to over 20 villages.

We searched throughout Sunamgonj to seek out the neediest. We then identified the beneficiaries and set up a collection point. Unfortunately, the majority of the families were unable to collect the parcels from our collection point due to being elderly, disabled or the means to travel the distance in transport. We had to be imaginative so used tractors, cartwheels to deliver the food parcels to those people. This took up most of our time and the whole process took over a week but, alhamdulillah, with the grace of Allah, and your support, we are pleased to say we got the food to the really needy and vulnerable as intended.
