MTB foundation distributes bicycles to female students in Barishal
To mark the International Day of Education 2026, the MTB Foundation observed this year's theme, 'The Power of Youth in Co-Creating Education', by distributing free bicycles among underprivileged and meritorious female students from different schools in Mathbaria, Barishal, under its Swapno Sarathi (The Dream Chariot) programme.
The initiative aims to help female students overcome geographical barriers to education by easing their daily commute to and from school. The campaign was carried out under the motto ' School jete durotto jeno badha na hoi', highlighting the importance of uninterrupted access to education.
The programme reflects MTB Foundation's commitment to supporting the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities).
