A girl who has been growing up since childhood has dreamed that one day she will be reliance of helpless. She had limited knowledge of the outside world. But the girl dreamed that one day she would be very close to the outside environment, would be the hope of the helpless, would be the catalyst for positive change in society.

When the beggars came to the house, she would give them a lot of rice so that they could eat well for a while.
She continues to succeed in school life in debates, open speech, drawings, recitations, scouts, and various extracurricular activities. In the midst of all this, she was outside many rules of the society, the insistence of changing the society was sitting in her brain.

After spending many days in this way, after  the SSC examination in 2015, she moved to Dhaka, the dream and busiest city. The new city began to take its course in new ways. It didn’t take her long to become everyone’s favorite face in college. Her college life ended with the highest GPA from the humanities department.

International Youth Change Maker is conducting activities in 16 districts of Bangladesh by forming separate teams.District teams are working in their districts to help in disasters, increase public awareness, tree planting, help the poor, distribute Eid gifts to the helpless and improve the lives of street children.
There are also several projects – Child Rights, Forestry, Climate, SDGs and Youth for Youth. Since 2016, the Narayanganj district team has been bearing all the relevant expenses including the education of 60 children and has been providing all possible support to them.Corona does not stop at the epidemic The work of the organization Corona has been increasing regularly since 2019 through an event called Youth Action on Corona Epidemic. The organization has been distributing food to the extremely poor. . On 12 August 2021 International Youth Day, the Deputy Commissioner of the country has given a memorandum to the Hon’ble Prime Minister to declare 2022 as the ‘Year of Children and Youth’.The activities of International Youth Change Maker are not limited to Bangladesh. They have more than five hundred volunteers working for the society from their respective places in more than seventy countries of the world. The representative of the Dhaka District Committee of International Youth Change Maker in Bangladesh also said that they are going to organize the UN Child Rights  Olympiad very soon and have sent a proposal to UNICEF Bangladesh in this regard.

On her way to college, she began to have countless questions about the people on the side of the road, and she began to insist that one day she would be relience these people. In 2017, she was admitted to the College of Applied Human Science  (Home Economics) Department of Child Development. From here, things get trickier, and this is where the great volunteer organization UNICEF comes into play. Then she did not have to go back. Inside, the hidden dream of becoming a change maker starts flying in the sky with wings.

She has been working in one organization after another, sometimes just as a volunteer, sometimes as a content writer, writing stories of change, and sometimes as a program organizer. She has relied on the helpless, soaked in the love of disadvantaged children. Worked with helpless people along the way. The smile on the face of the people who are trying their best to bring the day.

In the beginning she started working as a general volunteer but in a very short time she got herself involved with this organization nicely. Its main purpose was to work with children and young people because in the near future they will be the dreamer of social change. IYCM is such a platform where she thought all her objectives would be achieved. At the end of 2020, she resigned from all the organizations and started dreaming about IYCM.
