Did you know that 5% of every dollar we make goes to funding life-changing support in our home of Gaibandha through the Anisa Foundation? To celebrate Giving Tuesday on December 3, 2024, we decided to donate 50% of sales to our charitable initiatives—specifically for our annual winter blanket campaign.
Although Bangladesh has hot weather for most of the year, the winter season brings significant challenges for two to three months every year. And rural communities get hit the hardest.
Many families in rural areas, especially students, already lack access to basic necessities, and this is only heightened in the winter months when they need blankets and warm clothing. The cold weather makes it challenging for students to stay healthy and focus on their studies.
Plus, government aid often doesn’t reach remote areas like Chandipur Union in Gaibandha, one of the poorest regions in the country.
That’s why, every year, we acquire and distribute blankets to those in need at Chandipur Union.
Here’s what YOU helped us accomplish this year:
Together, you helped us raise more than $3,500 on Giving Tuesday. We purchased blankets and successfully distributed them on January 13, 2025 to 715 students in 14 different residential schools.
Now they can make it through the winter without the added burden of enduring the severe cold. They can stay warm, healthy, and focused on school.
It’s because of your support that we’re able to make a difference in the lives of the people in Gaibanda. Thank you for being part of our extended family.
