bKash App Enables Easy Donations for Iftar Initiatives During Ramadan

With the arrival of the holy month of Ramadan, the spirit of iftar gatherings begins to spread across communities. The sight of people from all walks of life—rich and poor—sitting together for iftar reflects a unique expression of social harmony and religious values. Making this noble act easier and more immediate is bKash, one of the country’s leading digital financial service providers. Through the ‘Donation’ option integrated into its app, people can now participate in charitable initiatives such as iftar arrangements from anywhere in the country while staying at home.

A bright example of this initiative can be seen at ‘Mojar Ishkul’ in the Kamalapur Railway Station area. Every day, street children and underprivileged people gather there to break their fast together. For 14-year-old Al-Amin, who survives by doing small jobs, and many others like him, this iftar arrangement has become a crucial support for daily survival.

Meanwhile, Bristi Rahman, a resident of Badda in Dhaka, has found a way to serve people through digital means. Despite the pressures of busy urban life, she regularly sends donations to Mojar Ishkul through the bKash app, ensuring iftar for at least five children every day. Like Bristi, thousands of people are now using this convenient platform to contribute to iftar arrangements at mosques, orphanages, and various social organizations.

Speaking about the virtuous initiative of arranging iftar for fasting individuals throughout Ramadan, Arian Arif, Chief Executive Officer of Mojar Ishkul, said, “Among the various initiatives we undertake to stand beside street children, the satisfaction we gain from organizing iftar is difficult to express in words. The way people from across the country are joining this effort is truly commendable. Those who wish to arrange iftar can easily become part of this initiative by using the donation option in the bKash app.”

This combination of technology and compassion has further illuminated the spirit of Ramadan. The process of donating through the bKash app is not merely a financial transaction; it has become a digital platform for promoting humanitarian values and reducing social disparities. It is hoped that the simple use of technology in this way will inspire even more people to engage in social and charitable activities in the future.
