SMC EL’s Kushtia Area Office took an initiative to promote awareness on health and hygiene among the female students of Harinakundu Upazila in Jhenaidah recently through the local government administration. Mr. Masudur Rahman, Sr. Area Executive - Distribution Sales, Kushtia, handed over 118 shipping cartons of SMC’s Joya-8 (Belt) sanitary napkin to Ms. Sayeda Nafis Sultana, Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO), Harinakundu at a simple ceremony at her office on June 16, 2020. Welcoming the support from SMC, the UNO expressed her satisfaction and said that she planned to distribute SMC’s Joya among 2,800 students of Class VII to Class X. She also shared her intention to develop a hygiene corner with Joya for the female staffs of the Upazila Complex. Ms. Sultana also appreciated the sincere and continuous effort of Mr. Rahman, adding that it helped her significantly to initiate the project for the school-going adolescent girls. She requested our officials to attend the orientation sessions and extend support to educate the female students on personal health and hygiene issues. The awareness building program was financed from the Annual Development Program (ADP) allocation for the Upazila’s budget which was the outcome of maintaining continuous liaison with the local administration by Mr. Masudur Rahman during the critical hour of Covid-19 pandemic.
