Miss Hakimun Nessa Bappy, CEO of the women-led organization WAYDO – Women’s Service & Youth Development Organization – has achieved a remarkable international milestone.
She has been selected as a finalist for the WINDRR Rising Star Award 2025, one of only seven worldwide.
The Women’s International Network on Disaster Risk Reduction (WIN DRR), with support from UNDRR Asia-Pacific, presents this prestigious recognition.
Miss Bappy is being honoured for her outstanding leadership, dedication, and active contribution in disaster risk reduction, women’s empowerment, and youth development.
