Bata Group celebrated its Founder's Day on Thursday
Bata Group, a renowned footwear brand, celebrated its Founder's Day on Thursday, says a press release.
The Founder's Day marks the anniversary of the company's establishment back in 1894.
To commemorate this event, Bata Children's Programme (BCP)'s Chairman Monica Pignal Bata visited Bangladesh for the first time.
She visited the BCP School to witness the impact of Bata Children's Programme in children's lives. Managing Director of Bata Bangladesh Debabrata Mukherjee and higher officials were also present.
On the occasion, Bata announced their global partnership with SOS Children's Villages International, the world's largest organisation focused on ensuring that children and young people without parental care or at risk of losing it grow up with the care, relationships and support they need to become their strongest selves.
This collaboration strengthens Bata's commitment to supporting and empowering young people.
Through Bata Children's Programme (BCP), the company focuses on helping children reach their potential, in partnership with local people and institutions. Since 2011, the programme has benefited more than 400,000 children in the community where the company operates.
Currently, BCP has been in partnership with Ashraf Textile Mills High School since 2019, where they have accomplished several noteworthy feats. These accomplishments include school renovation, conducting life-skills mentoring sessions, and building awareness about menstrual hygiene among these children.
