Miss World Bangladesh 2026 Samanzar Sayeed’s Hygiene for Health Bangladesh campaign is gaining momentum, drawing support from major organisations, NGOs, government representatives and thousands of young volunteers.
Launched on 22 July with Gulshan Society and supported by Dhaka North City Corporation and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the campaign aims to promote simple hygiene practices nationwide.
JAAGO Foundation Executive Director Korvi Rakshand has pledged the support of around 60,000 Youth Wing volunteers to spread Samanzar’s Seven Basic Hygiene Practices. Manusher Jonno Foundation and 125 NGO partners have also agreed to support the campaign, while the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Club at IUB has pledged to engage around 1,200 members and volunteers.
On 6 August, Environment and Climate Change Minister Sheikh Faridul Islam also expressed support for the initiative, particularly welcoming Environmental Hygiene as one of its seven focus areas.
Samanzar aims to mobilise 10,000 active volunteers and reach one million people with seven messages: Personal Hygiene, Hand Hygiene, Food Hygiene, Safe Water, Oral Hygiene, Menstrual Hygiene and Environmental Hygiene.
Miss World Bangladesh National Director Azra Mahmood said, “What is remarkable about Samanzar’s advocacy is its simplicity and potential for impact. It is a practical, low-cost model that can reach millions through volunteers and can be replicated anywhere in the world. This is Beauty With a Purpose in action.”
While Samanzar is representing Bangladesh at Miss World 2026 in Vietnam, the campaign continues to grow at home.
“My dream is to make basic hygiene knowledge accessible to every family. I want this movement to continue growing far beyond Miss World. Please pray for me and also vote for me,” Samanzar said.
