Mutual Trust Bank (MTB) Foundation has distributed bicycles among 132 talented and underprivileged female students in Kushtia.
The event aimed to support the educational journey of the students took place on Tuesday afternoon at Shaheed Hasan Faiz Secondary Girls’ School in Kushtia Sadar Upazila.
Chaired by Nazrul Islam, GM of MTB Kushtia branch, Chief Executive Officer of MTB Foundation Samia Chowdhury attended the programme as the chief guest.
During her speech, Samia Chowdhury highlighted that the initiative aims to solve commuting issues faced by underprivileged students at rural level, ensuring that no female student drops out due to lack of transportation.
She further noted that since its inception, Mutual Trust Bank, under the guidance of the board of directors has carried out such activities across the country.
Barsha Akter, one of the bicycle recipients, shared her relief, explaining that her previous difficulties in commuting to school would no longer be an issue, allowing her to attend school more conveniently.
