The main aim of R2P is to organise the young population of Bangladesh and conduct awareness building campaigns as well as development programs across the country. The organisation conceives that dengue outbreak can be prevented this year if proper awareness programs are conducted among people. R2P volunteers Rabeya Akhter Sathi, Ruhi Rusaba Zahwa Jahan and Khadiza Akhter gave speech on prevention against dengue. They also distributed cloths among the people in need, who participated in the campaign.
