The global pandemic COVID-19 has taken over the world, and it is probably the deadliest infectious virus of our time. Bangladesh has reported a sharp rise in COVID-19 infections and virus-related deaths over the past few weeks amid fears of omicron variant spreading throughout the country. A few days ago, 30 people in Bangladesh were affected by omicron. Though the number doesn’t seem like many, it is scary to think that we can go from only a few cases to several cases in such a short time. It is spreading fast, and only 40% of Bangladesh’s population is fully vaccinated.
The people that live in rural areas are the most vulnerable; they need the most help because they have the least access to proper healthcare and resources. Hundreds and thousands of lower-income families in Bangladesh still do not have the guarantee of food for the next day. It is uncertain that they will earn soon, again.
JAAGO Foundation continued the initiative for the underprivileged people and responded to the humanitarian crisis by providing food support. A few days ago, in Bandarban, we distributed rice, flour, lentils, potatoes, oil, salt, and so on, including soaps and masks to the underprivileged families. The volunteers and the management team maintained proper hygiene and social distancing in the distribution areas.
However, people are still suffering and dealing with the economic impact the pandemic has caused. Though many have come forward, we still need your support. By maintaining proper safety measures, we resumed our relief activity again to help those in need and helped them overcome a few of the challenges they faced. But they still need your help!
These people need our help to get their lives back on track. It is a responsibility to step up and support these people who have done nothing to deserve this, and that’s why we ask you for your support. Please donate if you can to bring smiles to the faces of a family in need.
Endless Gratitude
During this pandemic, JAAGO Foundation has been working extensively to solve problems and take necessary actions through various activities. We are fighting with an invisible force, and it requires huge motivation and willpower to get things done during this crisis period. Your support will be our force towards working more efficiently for the marginalised people. Our endless gratitude goes to the kind souls who have helped us reach this far. We look forward to your support!
