The blanket distribution event was honored by the presence of esteemed Chief Guest, Mr. M. A. Malek, a recipient of the Ekushey Padak, former District Governor of Lions Clubs International, a renowned social worker, and Editor of the prestigious newspaper, The Daily Azadi Chattogram.
The event was presided over by Lion Habibur Rahman, President of the Brihattar Dhaka Samity.

Addressing Immediate Needs
The 1,230 Winter Blankets were distributed to families facing extreme poverty and harsh winter conditions, helping them stay warm and protected during the cold months. Such initiatives are vital in communities where people lack basic resources to safeguard themselves from seasonal adversities.

By providing immediate assistance to those in need, BISAP and the AMI Foundation continue to stand by displaced, marginalized, and vulnerable communities in Bangladesh.
Through this initiative, BISAP reaffirms its commitment to humanitarian service, resilience, and compassion, ensuring that no one is left behind during times of crisis.
