IDLC Finance Limited, the largest non-banking financial institution, is partnering with four non-profit, voluntary organisations to provide dry food to 9,000 daily wage earning and lower-middle income families impacted by Covid-19 across the country.
The financial institution has taken an initiative to stand beside the daily-wage earners and lower-middle-class families with food and other essentials starting from May 5 in the year.
Under this month-long food support program, IDLC will provide dry rations to 9000 families in partnership with four non-profit, voluntary organizations across Bangladesh.
As part of the partnership Obhizatrik Foundation, CSR Window Bangladesh, Mastul Foundation and Sombhabona, will be the on-ground implementation partner to distribute the food packages among 9000 families in 30 districts.
Each family will receive 10 days of food support which includes rice, pulse, oil, potato, onion, salt, and other necessary items.
Being a socially responsible organization, IDLC has been conducting several initiatives since the early days of the pandemic to tackle Covid-19 and its multifaceted impacts on the lives of low-income communities.
In 2020, IDLC has implemented a relief program through which 30,000 low-income people have received food support for 1 week. IDLC had also donated Tk2.4 crore to the Prime Minister’s welfare fund in 2020 to combat COVID-19.
