Facebook has launched 'Community Help' feature in Bangladesh. This will make it easier to help the most affected people in the ongoing epidemic. 'Community Help' is part of Facebook's ongoing efforts to engage the public with the necessary information and services related to Covid-19.
Blood banks, social organizations and local non-profit organizations will be able to use the tool on their pages, Facebook said in a press release. They will be able to request and respond to the posts of others by requesting various services and necessary products within their own community. In addition, you can help others by making new posts from personal accounts or pages. For example, elderly neighbors may be interested in reaching out to the market, helping someone find oxygen cylinders, or distributing food among the poor through a social organization.
