Bangladeshi girls triumph over world-class field to win seed money for green project

2 September 2020

Raida Siddiqui from the Aga Khan School in Dhaka and four other girls have defeated teams from all around the world with their idea for a project aimed at green urbanisation at the Hong Kong-based global charity foundation, 24 Hour Race. Their project, ReLeaf, aims to popularise urban gardening within their immediate environment in Dhaka utilising advances in technology. The girls have outlined a plan to connect nurseries located in different parts of the capital with its residents using an app, that can be used to purchase plants from the nurseries.
