Good day everyone. Hope you are all well & sound. This is basically a fundraising post regarding my initiative to provide food support to poor/helpless people in Bangladesh during upcoming Ramadan.
Unlike many other countries, we generally notice an increase in the prices of essential food and commodities here in Bangladesh. Most likely, this year will be no exception. In addition, prices of some food items have already risen sharply since the Russia-Ukraine conflict. As a result, the country's low-income and homeless people are suffering & gasping for breath under unrelenting market volatility. So, I've taken an initiative to provide food support to at least 20 families this ramadan.
My Planning & Approximate Cost
| Food | Price (Per Kg) | Per Family | Total | Approx Cost (Considering 1$ = 90 BDT) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | 50 Tk (BDT) | 8 Kg | 160 Kg | 8000 BDT (88.88 $) |
| Onion | 40 Tk (BDT) | 2 Kg | 40 Kg | 1600 BDT (17.77 $) |
| Lentils | 80 Tk (BDT) | 2 Kg | 40 Kg | 3200 BDT (35.55 $) |
| Salt | 30 Tk (BDT) | 1 Kg | 20 Kg | 600 BDT (6.66 $) |
| Oil | 160 Tk (BDT) | 2 Litre | 40 Litre | 6400 BDT (71.11 $) |
| Sugar | 80 Tk (BDT) | 2 Kg | 40 Kg | 3200 BDT (35.55 $) |
| Date | 300 Tk (BDT) | 1 Kg | 20 Kg | 6000 BDT (66.66 $) |
| Chickpea | 80 Tk (BDT) | 1 Kg | 20 Kg | 1600 BDT (17.77 $) |
| - | Total | 19 Kg | 380 Kg | 30600 BDT (340 $) |
That's my rough planning & approximate cost is 1530 BDT (17$) per family. I will try to contribute from my own fund as much as possible to execute this initiative successfully. But I would still request all of you to contribute in this initiative. Your small support would mean a lot to the helpless & poor families. If you want to contribute in this charity program, you can send Hive/HBDs to @bdcharity or directly to my account @mahirabdullah .And I will obviously share the update & report after completing the initiative.
And Finally, I would like to request everyone, take initiative to help the people around you as much as you can. Because there are many people living around you who are going through a very hard time you may not even know!
