To spread the joy of the mango season among underprivileged communities, Shwapno, Bangladesh’s leading retail chain, organized a special initiative titled “Shwapno Mango Festival” at the TNT Field in Mohakhali on Wednesday.
As part of the program, fresh and ripe mangoes were distributed among people from disadvantaged backgrounds, allowing them to enjoy one of the country’s most loved seasonal fruits.
The event brought together community members in a warm and festive atmosphere, creating moments of happiness and connection.
Throughout the day, participants gathered to receive mangoes and take part in the celebration.
Volunteers and organizers interacted closely with attendees, helping to make the event engaging and memorable.
Beyond the distribution itself, the initiative aimed to share the simple joy of the season and encourage a spirit of togetherness within the community.
The Mango Festival is not limited to Mohakhali alone. Shwapno is carrying out similar mango distribution activities simultaneously in several locations across the country.
In Dhaka, the campaign is being conducted at Rabindra Sarobar in Dhanmondi, Mirpur-1, and Rajabari Chourasta in Turag, Uttara.
Outside the capital, underprivileged communities in Chittagong, Khulna, and Sylhet are also being reached through the initiative.
Commenting on the program, Md Mahadi Faisal, deputy director (category growth & ESG) of Shwapno, said: “At Shwapno, we believe that the joy of safe and quality food should be shared by everyone. We have been working closely with farmers for years, sourcing fruits and vegetables directly from them and making them available to our customers through a reliable supply chain.
“This mango season, we wanted to extend that joy beyond our stores and share it with people who may not always have the opportunity to enjoy such seasonal treats. The mangoes distributed through this campaign have been collected directly from farmers, and through this small initiative, we hope to create meaningful moments of happiness while strengthening our connection with farmers, customers, and the wider community.”
Through initiatives like the Shwapno Mango Festival, the company continues its efforts to support communities and make seasonal produce accessible to more people across the country.
