LEDARS distributed disaster response materials to youth group to response in disasters.

LEDARS distributed Disaster Rescue Equipment to the youth volunteer of the
community on 27 March 2024 under the CREA and SLSCCVP projects supported by
Bread for the World and Manusher Jonno Foundation (MJF). This initiative spearheaded
by LEDARS aimed at bolstering disaster management capabilities within our
communities. In the esteemed presence of Chief Guest SM Ataul Huq Dolon, M.P.
Satkhira- 04, Chairperson Nazibul Alam, UNO Shyamnagar Sathkira, Chairman of
LEDARS Freedom Fighter Md. Nazrul Islam, and Executive Director Mohon Kumar
Mondal, we have taken a significant step towards ensuring the safety and resilience of
our community members.

This joint intervention, targeting five unions including Munshigunj, Ishwaripuri,
Kashimari, Gabura, and Dakshin Bendkashi, of Shyamnagar and Koyra sub-district; has
had a profound impact on over 3101 beneficiaries associated with the Union Climate
Resilience Forum (UCRF), formed in 2012. Through the distribution of essential safety
equipment under the SLSCCVP project wherein a total of 5 kits were distributed with
each kit comprising 1 chainsaw, 1 hand microphone, 120 feet long thick ropes, 5 life
jackets, 5 helmets, and 5 torchlights, we aim to empower community members to
mitigate the impact of disasters such as cyclones effectively. Additionally, under the
CREA project, two unions, Burigoalini and Gabura, have been equipped with safety kits
containing 3 torchlights, 3 raincoats, 3 pairs of gumboots, 3 helmets, and hand
microphones, benefiting a total of 1620 individuals.

This initiative marks a significant stride towards fostering community resilience and
ensuring the safety of our fellow citizens in the face of natural disasters. By equipping
individuals with the necessary tools and resources, we are enhancing their ability to
respond to emergencies and fostering a sense of unity and preparedness within our
communities. Together, we are building a stronger, safer, and more resilient future for
all.
