COVID-19 is putting all businesses, big and small, in danger of bankruptcy. From large retailers, such as JC Penny in the United States, to road-side vendors in Bangladesh, the effect of COVID-19 is felt sorely by all entrepreneurs.
The most amazing part of these initiatives is that the people are channeling their grief and expressing human solidarity by donating to the most vulnerable community of this country. As of the time I am writing this, Bidyanondo, a small social venture, has been able to secure a donation of over BDT 1,45,61,074, with the aim of distributing food to five lac marginalised people who might lose their income sources during the lockdown of Dhaka city.
