BRAC Bank provides Tk 10m for the injured in student movement

BRAC Bank disbursed Tk 10m to 414 individuals who had been injured in the recent Anti-Discrimination Student Movement.

Earlier, the bank announced a Tk 20 million from its Corporate Social Responsibility funds to support the treatment of the injured. The recent disbursement is part of the effort. The bank's action reflects its commitment to standing with the people of Bangladesh in times of need, according to the bank's press release.

BRAC, the world's largest NGO, reached eight major hospitals in Dhaka, including Dhaka Medical College Hospital and Mugda Medical College Hospital.

Of the 414, 295 are from Dhaka, while 119 are from other districts nationwide. Leveraging its CORPnet facilities, BRAC Bank directly transferred the funds to the beneficiaries' bKash wallets, ensuring a secure and efficient disbursement process and the money's end-use.

Commenting on this initiative, Selim RF Hussain, managing director & CEO of BRAC Bank, said, "While this contribution may seem small in the face of the immense challenges these individuals are facing, it serves as an affirmation that the people of Bangladesh stand united with those affected by this historic anti-discrimination movement. We are committed to supporting them in any way we can, and this initiative is a testament to our belief in solidarity and compassion."
