Responding to emerging needs during winter freeze in Bangladesh

13 Feb 2023

At the start of 2023, the northern region of Bangladesh experienced an incredibly cold winter which was affecting day-to-day life for many people. In response, a team of volunteers from Intertek Bangladesh helped to procure 350 blankets for donation. The team then travelled around 80km from Dhaka to the remote Shariatpur district, where weather conditions were particularly harsh. The blankets were then handed out to the beneficiaries of five charitable organisations, ranging from an orphanage to the National Federation of the Visually Impaired.
