Dengue & Aedes Mosquito Prevention Campaign – 2021 & 22
Dengue fever, spread by Aedes mosquitoes, poses a serious health risk, especially in densely populated urban areas. Many people are unaware that unclean surroundings and stagnant water are breeding grounds for mosquitoes, and dengue is a disease with no specific treatment. To prevent this, it is important to keep our surroundings clean at all times. Sanskaran Foundation, in collaboration with the Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC), organized a campaign to prevent Aedes mosquito breeding, raise community awareness, and reduce the risk of dengue infection.
Dengue & Aedes Mosquito Prevention Campaign was conducted over 10 days in 2021 in Mirpur Ward 13, Dhaka. Sanskaran Foundation volunteers worked alongside DNCC cleaners and mosquito control teams to inspect residential and construction sites, identify and remove stagnant water and waste, assist in large-scale cleaning operations, and raise awareness through community engagement and miking. DNCC Executive Magistrates also participated, inspecting the area and imposing fines where larva were found. The campaign concluded with a public awareness rally, emphasizing collective responsibility in dengue prevention.
