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 the upcoming Eid-ul FITAR (MUSLIM RELIGIOUS FESTIVAL ).
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 the 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 $)
That's my rough planning & the approximate cost is 1530 BDT (17$) 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 to this initiative. Your small support would mean a lot to the helpless & poor families. If you want to contribute to this charity program, you can send them BLURT to @ahimadri or directly to my account @kaideleon. And I will obviously share the update & report after completing the initiative.
The full payout of this post is set to @kaideleon and all of it will go to the "Project Ramadan EID" Fund
And Finally, I would like to request everyone, take initiative to help the people around you as much as they can. Because there are many people living around you who are going through a very hard time you may not even know!
Thank You
