Providing a safety net for the Urban Extreme Poor population is a vital component for a thriving society. SAJIDA Foundation’s Urban Extreme Poor Program (SUEPP) is working to address this issue. Through initiatives such as the Emergency Food Response, Health and Livelihood (EFHL), and Amarao Manush’s Hygiene kit and Food Distribution, the program is set to change the story for many.
SAJIDA Foundation’s Urban Extreme Poor Program (SUEPP) launched Emergency Food Response, Health and Livelihood (EFHL) initiative; a long-term multi-phase program that aims to deliver efficient social protection to the Urban Extreme Poor. The first phase of the program has been initiated in Chandpur, Gazipur, and Dhaka. Program participants are receiving vouchers that can be exchanged for a cooked meal from local restaurants and a cotton mask from a network of local suppliers. In the long-term, the initiative shall expand by building a safety net ensuring food security, livelihood recovery, micro-business setup, along with access to healthcare service.
Vaccine Registration Drive
