Project REFILL & REFUEL by Team ZEAL
We see daily laborers work at day and night in streets, buildings and what not in our country. It has come to our concern that not too many initiatives are taken for the health concerns of this segment for the working class of our very own motherland.
Scarcity of fluid and salt in human body is the cause of dehydration and malfunction of different organs of human body in the long run.
In Bangladesh, rickshaw pullers are the main sufferers of the scarcity of fluid and salt due to excessive heat and continuous hard work. Saline can give a ready-made solution to this problem.
As our project title suggests, team ZEAL had distributed free packets of Saline to rickshaw pullers in certain parts of Dhaka city so that their bodies get REFILLED after such a hectic day and they can be energized again or in other words REFUELLED and they can go back to their work fully charged.
Our team tried to aware them about the consequence of the problems that arise from dehydration and the utility to the solution of this problem.
