Distribution of Winter Clothing
A large number of people in Bangladesh live under the poverty line and with the touch of misery due to extreme cold in winter season. In the north zone of Bangladesh, the percentage of poor people live below the poverty line is quite high. Their existence can also be found in our capital. Many of them are child. They cannot afford to buy winter clothes to keep them warm. So, to give them some warm care, Meridian Group distributes Quilt and Clothes to these people in winter season. At every winter season, Meridian runs this program very eagerly.
