Suraki Hetak 7.0 - Phase I

By -

In response to the alarming prevalence of road accidents and the pressing need for proactive measures to enhance road safety within our community, our committee has embarked on an initiative focused on road accident and crime prevention. At the heart of our project lies the Road Sign Painting Campaign, a strategically selected project aimed at addressing the root causes of road accidents by fostering awareness and adherence to traffic regulations, particularly among vulnerable demographics such as schoolchildren. 

Through this initiative, we seek to instill a culture of responsible road behavior, thereby reducing the incidence of accidents and contributing to the overall well-being of our community. Our planning process involved careful evaluation of various project ideas and potential locations, guided by a commitment to selecting the most effective interventions. Comparative analysis and on-site assessments were conducted to identify suitable walls within school premises for the installation of road signs. Collaborative discussions with school authorities further informed our decision-making process, ensuring the successful execution of the project.

Generous donations from valued sponsors facilitated the procurement of essential resources, while the involvement of artistic leos enriched the project's implementation through their talents and dedication. On 20th April 2024, volunteers from both the university and the local community enthusiastically participated in the painting activities, reflecting our collective commitment towards achieving our project objectives. 

Upon completion of the Road Sign Painting Campaign, comprehensive evaluations were conducted to assess its effectiveness in raising road safety awareness. Discussions with school authorities regarding the maintenance of painted signs underscored our commitment to sustainability, ensuring the longevity of our efforts in promoting road safety within our community.

In conclusion, the Road Sign Painting Campaign serves as a testament in making our roads safer and preventing accidents. Through planning, collaboration, and community engagement, we aim to lay a solid foundation for a safer and more responsible road culture, with a commitment to sustaining these efforts for the benefit of future generations.

          Diyani 8.0 - Her Well (First Phase ) ~Access to basic sanitation should be a basic right, not a privilege~ Sanitation and hygiene practices are crucial for maintaining health and well-being, yet many people, particularly women, face significant barriers in accessing proper education and resources. Menstruation remains a taboo in many cultures, viewed as shameful or impure due to cultural and religious norms. This stigma prevents open discussions and limits access to information and resources. As the world observes International Menstrual Hygiene Day 2024 with the theme "Period Friendly World," the question remains: Are we ready to talk openly about periods?
