Summary of activities in Bangladesh
During this challenging time, your donation means more than ever in Bangladesh.
Ankur has contributed in the BUET OXYJET CPAP research, a low cost alternative of High flow O2 system. Now we are funding to make 50 devices for various hospitals in Bangladesh. With more support we can make more devices.
Here a link of recent demonstration of this low cost CPAP device use in Bangladesh.
https://www.facebook.com/ntvdigital/videos/148336580628892We continued food drives to cover slum areas of Dhaka, remote areas in - Rangpur, Dinajpur, Khulna, Hatier Chor, Sylhet, Comilla, Barishal, Jalokhathi, Bogra and many other districts. We plan to cover many other remote areas.
We partnered with local farmers and purchased their product such as, Vegetables, to give them the price they deserve. We distributed so far ~2500 families in various part of Bangladesh. Please visit Ankur’s Face book link for update:
https://www.facebook.com/pg/ankurinternational/posts/?ref=page_internalOur food bag approximately contains - Rice 15 kg (44 x 15= 660 BDT), Flour 5 kg (25 x 5 = 125 BDT), Potatoes 5 kg (21 x 5 = 105 BDT), Cooking Oil 1L (95 BDT), Chola 3 kg (3x 70 = 210 BDT), Salt 1kg (15 BDT), Total 1210 BDT. We calculated, with 1250 BDT (~15$) you can support a 5 members family for 3 weeks. With Intel matching you can even double your contribution.
