Bangladesh ODI captain Tamim Iqbal has joined forces with a charitable organization to raise funds and assist the underprivileged people of Bangladesh.
Footsteps, a charitable organization, revealed Saturday that Bangladesh opener Tamim donated a massive amount to provide support towards the underprivileged people of the society who are struggling to make ends meet.
The organization thanked Tamim for being a part of the fundraising and urged others to come forward and donate.
With rising cases of Covid-19 in the country, Bangladesh has been in an unofficial lockdown since March 26 and as per the latest decision of the government, it will continue till April 25.
This has harmed the day to day workers largely as they don't have enough resources to be at home and relax.
“We would like to thank Bangladesh cricket captain Tamim Iqbal for making an extensive donation to support underprivileged families with food supplies through our Covid-19 rehabilitation response. Tamim has joined in our mission and you can too to help us reach as many struggling families as possible and help them survive this pandemic,” said Footsteps through a social media post.
Earlier, Tamim was one of the key protagonists behind the initiative of the national cricketers of the country raising funds of Tk26 lakhs by donating 50% of their one-month salary.
Till Saturday afternoon, three more Covid-19 patients died in Bangladesh, taking the country's death toll to 30.
Besides, 58 more people contracted the novel coronavirus, taking the tally of Covid-19 cases to 482.
