DHAKA, Mar 7, 2026 (BSS) - Mobile financial service bKash has made it easier 
to make donations for Iftar for the country's underprivileged section of 
people.

Fourteen-year old orphan AlAmin grew up in the Kamalapur Railway Station 
area. He earns his livelihood by doing small jobs. He fasts every day during 
Ramadan and comes to the daily iftar event of Mojar School in the Kamalapur 
area to break his fast.

Meanwhile, Brishty Rahman, a resident of Badda in Dhaka, grew up watching her 
mother arranging iftar for people in need. 

Although she cannot organise such initiatives on a large scale due to her 
busy urban lifestyle, she is taking responsibility for providing iftar to 
five children every day by donating through the bKash app to Mojar School. 
For Brishty, this digital medium has created a meaningful way to carry 
forward her mother's values.

The bKash has made it very easy to connect people like Brishty with iftar 
initiatives for children like AlAmin. Not only her, thousands of people 
across the country have been able to participate in different organisations' 
iftar programmes effortlessly through bKash, said a press release.

The connection of religious and social sentiment with arranging iftar for 
those who are fasting is a longstanding tradition. 

This year too, mosques, various institutions, social organisations, and even 
individuals have taken initiatives throughout Ramadan to arrange iftar for 
fasting people. The 'Donation' option on the bKash app has made participation 
in this noble initiative easy and instant.

Speaking about organising daily iftar, Arian Arif, chief executive officer of 
Mojar School, said, "Our organisation runs various initiatives to stand 
beside underprivileged and street children. But arranging iftar gives us a 
different kind of fulfilment. Watching people sit in long rows and break 
their fast together after an entire day is a special joy. We may have taken 
the initiative, but people from all over the country are joining us. Anyone 
who wishes to contribute to iftar can easily donate through the bKash app and 
be part of this effort."

Where and How to Donate for Iftar:
Donations for the iftar of one or multiple individuals can be sent directly 
from the bKash app to organisations like Obhizatrik Foundation, Mojar School, 
Shakti Foundation, and Mastul Foundation. 

Depending on the organisation, an individual can provide iftar for one person 
at Taka 40 or Taka 50. Users can also take responsibility for a family's 
entire month of iftar by donating Taka 1000.

bKash customers can donate daily or donate larger amounts at once as per 
their convenience. These social organisations arrange daily iftar for 
underprivileged communities at various locations across Dhaka, in mosques, as 
well as at several places outside Dhaka.

To donate iftar through bKash app, customers need to click on the 'Donation' 
icon from the bKash app. 

Then, the preferred organisation can be selected from the list, and the 
customers need to submit their name, email and donation amount. In the next 
step, the customer will get an acknowledgment note after completing the 
donation process with bKash PIN.

In addition to the bKash app, customers can also donate through this weblink
