Bank Alfalah and SOS Children's Villages Expand Partnership for Children's Education and Women's Training in Khulna

Bank Alfalah Bangladesh has expanded its partnership with SOS Children's Villages Bangladesh to support children's education and women's economic empowerment. The initiative has been taken under the bank's corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities.

Under the partnership, necessary educational materials will be provided to children in SOS Children's Villages Bangladesh's alternative care and family strengthening programmes. This is intended to reduce financial barriers in education and help children continue their studies.

In addition, a five-month training programme will be run to improve the livelihoods of women in the coastal region of Khulna. The women will gain skills in various income-generating activities, alongside training in financial management, saving, and using banking and mobile financial services.

Md Masud Rana, deputy national director of SOS Children's Villages Bangladesh, said every child should have the opportunity to receive an education and build a good future. Through this partnership with Bank Alfalah, they want to support children's education and create opportunities for women to acquire necessary skills, so women can make their own and their families' futures more secure.

Bank Alfalah Bangladesh was represented in the partnership by its head of marketing, brand, product, SQ and strategy, Mostafa Habib E Rabbi. SOS Children's Villages Bangladesh was represented by deputy national director Md Masud Rana and corporate fundraising officer Md Arman Kabir Mahid.

Through this partnership, Bank Alfalah Bangladesh and SOS Children's Villages Bangladesh aim to expand educational opportunities for children, improve women's livelihoods, and contribute to the long-term welfare of disadvantaged children and families.
