Last week, multiple individuals in Bangladesh’s northern regions lost their lives due to lack of adequate warm clothing. The temperature recently significantly dropped, leaving many villagers unprepared for the elements, often leading to tragedy.
BRAC Education Programme immediately responded by distributing a clothing package worth two crore BD taka ($250,000). Clothing was distributed in in 15 districts amongst 108,750 recipients of underprivileged backgrounds.
BRAC is also hosting a “warm clothes drive” in Dhaka, in which individuals can donate old/used clothes. The donation bin is located on the ground floor of BRAC Centre, 75 Mohakhali, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
