The COVID-19 pandemic presented unprecedented challenges to communities worldwide. In rural areas, where access to information and healthcare resources can be limited, the pandemic posed a particular threat. Many individuals in these regions were unaware of the necessary precautions to prevent the spread of the virus.

To address this pressing issue, the Raja Education and Bahuuddeshiya Society launched a program to distribute free hand sanitizer and face masks to rural communities. The initiative aimed to raise awareness about COVID-19 precautions and provide essential tools to help prevent the virus’s transmission.

By distributing hand sanitizer and face masks, the Raja Education and Bahuuddeshiya Society sought to:

• Raise awareness about COVID-19 precautions
• Provide essential tools to prevent the spread of the virus
• Protect vulnerable populations from infection

Since its inception, the Raja Education and Bahuuddeshiya Society has distributed 1000 kits containing hand sanitizer and face masks. The most recent distribution took place on 2 February, 2021. The program was met with great enthusiasm and gratitude from the rural communities.

The initiative was made possible thanks to the generous support of donors. A total of INR 1,00,000 was spent on procuring and distributing the sanitizers and masks.

The impact of the program was significant. By providing essential supplies and raising awareness, the Raja Education and Bahuuddeshiya Society played a crucial role in combating the spread of COVID-19 in rural areas. The program helped to protect vulnerable populations and reduce the overall impact of the pandemic.

Moreover, the program helped to build trust between the Raja Education and Bahuuddeshiya Society and the communities it served. This trust has laid the foundation for future collaborations and initiatives aimed at improving the lives of rural residents.

The success of this program demonstrates the importance of community-based initiatives in addressing public health crises. By providing essential resources and raising awareness, organizations like the Raja Education and Bahuuddeshiya Society can play a vital role in protecting vulnerable populations and promoting health and well-being.
