IDLC Finance providing dry food to 9,000 families

IDLC Finance has announced partnering with four non-profit, voluntary organisations to provide dry food to 9,000 daily wage earning and lower-middle income families in 30 districts affected by the pandemic. 

Under the month-long initiative starting Wednesday, Obhizatrik Foundation, CSR Window Bangladesh, Mastul Foundation and Shombhabona would be carrying out the distribution, providing each family 10 days' food, which includes rice, pulse, oil, potato, onion and salt, says a press release. 

The non-banking financial institution said to have taken up several initiatives since the pandemic's early days to help low-income communities.

These include providing food support for a week to 30,000 low-income people and donating Tk 24 million for the prime minister's welfare fund.
