Afrida is a very sensitive young girl who wants to be close to the people in need and support them. She lives in a country with high-level poverty and her goal is to find a way to cover the basic and minimal needs of poor people, especially children. For this reason, she founded her own organization. With her organization, she educates street children and to protect them from exploitation and abuse. So far, she has offered blankets and food to unprivileged people, and offered them support during the COVID-19 pandemic. She also gave the rickshaw pullers “Iftar” in Ramadan and gave some food and masks during Eid to the beggar. For the future, her goal is to build an orphanage for street children of Bangladesh.
