• Social Media Management: Set up and manage social media pages for the project, create engaging content, and raise awareness about hygiene poverty in the community.
• Community Engagement: Attend charity Townhall meetings and encourage fellow volunteers to participate; stay informed via the W4WE Hygiene Bank newsletter.
