Financial aid provided by ‘Save the Children’ will reach the families of 30,000 underprivileged children across the country through bKash, stated the mobile financial service provider in a press release.

Save the Children, an international humanitarian organisation, working on children’s health, education, awareness and protection around the world, will use bKash’s disbursement solution to distribute financial aid among underprivileged children in Bangladesh.

Recently at the country office of Save the Children in Dhaka, country director of the organisation Onno Evertjan Van Manen and chief commercial officer of bKash Ali Ahmmed signed an agreement on behalf of their respective organisations for the distribution of the aid.
