Bangladesh Human Rights Foundation launches urgent winter clothes drive
The Bangladesh Human Rights Foundation (BHRF) has initiated winter relief efforts across multiple districts. Chairperson Alena Khan urged activists and citizens to assist those struggling in the cold. Branches in Dhaka, Chattogram, Cumilla, and Pabna have started gathering and distributing warm clothes to vulnerable communities.
Trustee board member Salma Adil contributed Tk 50,000 to support these initiatives. The funds will aid ongoing relief measures as temperatures drop further.
BHRF’s winter relief campaign has expanded to several regions. Local units in Dhaka, Chattogram, Cumilla, and Ishwardi are actively gathering and distributing clothes to people in need. The organisation aims to address the immediate challenges faced by those exposed to harsh winter conditions.
Alena Khan emphasised unity in her appeal. She called on individuals to set aside differences and contribute according to their means. Her statement highlighted the importance of collective action during the cold season. The foundation also recognised outstanding efforts during World Human Rights Day observations. The Cumilla city unit secured first place, followed by Hathazari upazila in second. Chattogram’s district and city units shared third place, while the Ishwardi unit received an appreciation award for its contributions.
The BHRF’s winter relief drive continues with donations and volunteer support. Salma Adil’s Tk 50,000 contribution will bolster clothes distribution in affected areas. Local branches remain focused on reaching those most vulnerable to the cold.
