" Bangladesh is one of the most climate-vulnerable countries in the global south and is constantly afflicted by flooding, a lack of freshwater resources, and inadequate sanitation, due to its geographic location, we are the most prominent example of confronting water and climate crisis together, making WASH facilities more vulnerable.
I am optimistic that these programs will enhance my practical knowledge of Climate change, WASH issues, and I am eager to make a significant contribution to help my nation overcome its WASH, water, and climate crises. At Eco-network, I previously worked on Climate Literacy, WASH, Water Justice, and Advocacy, as well as workshops, awareness programs, and field activities, during which we conducted surveys and gathered data for preparing reports, documents. Besides, I have been selected for my contribution “Change Maker of the Year-2021” for my contribution on Climate change issues in global south countries.
AS a Millennium Fellow, I want to sharpen my skills ,believe it will enhance my capacity which will help me to engage local community to this vast climate issue. "
