To mark the bank's 26th anniversary, MTB Foundation distributed free bicycles to underprivileged, high-achieving female students from various schools in the Chattogram region under its 'Swapno Sarathi' (The Dream Chariot) programme.
The initiative aims to reduce mobility-related barriers to education for female students, guided by the campaign motto "Distance should not stand in the way of attending school", which emphasises enabling safer and easier travel to and from school.
MTB Foundation stated that the programme reflects its commitment to supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities).
