Ramadan holds immense significance for Muslims worldwide, marking a period of spiritual reflection, fasting, and communal prayer. To commemorate the holy month, Lizol aims to enhance the cleanliness and sanctity of mosques across Bangladesh, facilitating a favorable environment for worship and reflection. Lizol, the renowned disinfectant floor & surface cleaner brand by Reckitt Benckiser, announces its month-long mosque cleaning drive, “Purity in cleanliness” (Porichhonotai Pobitrota in Bangla) in preparation for the holy month of Ramadan. In collaboration with local community members, volunteers and religious leaders, Lizol will embark on a mission to clean 100 mosques across Bangladesh, distributing efforts evenly across the nation divisions. The campaign will encompass 70 mosques spread across the divisions of Chittagong, Khulna, Barisal, Sylhet, Mymensingh, Rajshahi, and Rangpur. Additionally, Lizol will extend its efforts to 30 mosques within the capital city of Dhaka. “Porichhonotai Pobitrota” reflects Lizol commitment to hygiene and community well-being, particularly during the auspicious month of Ramadan. Through this initiative, Lizol aims to reinforce the importance of cleanliness in religious spaces and promote a sense of collective responsibility towards community well-being. Sabrin Maruf Tinni, Marketing Manager of Reckitt Benckiser (Bangladesh) PLC said “During Ramadan, mosques experience increased attendance as Muslims gather for regular prayers, community iftars, Quran tilawat and Taraweeh prayers. These influxes of activities make it difficult for Khadems (caretakers) to keep up with the overall cleanliness. As part of the activity, we were assisting the mosque Khadem by taking on the cleaning duties. Aiming to clean 100 mosques nationwide this time, Lizol has a vision to create an impact in this area.” Reckitt Benckiser, the parent company of Lizol, is renowned for its portfolio of trusted hygiene, health, and nutrition brands. With a commitment to improving lives through innovative products and initiatives, Reckitt Benckiser prioritizes initiatives that align with community needs and contribute positively to society.

Farmers require financing facilities to sustain and expand their agricultural operations. However, accessing financial resources can be challenging for our local farmers due to various factors. To simplify the process and make agricultural funding more equitable, iFarmer and Eastern Bank Ltd PLC (EBL) have recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Agricultural endeavors often demand high upfront costs for seeds, equipment, and infrastructure, while returns may take months or even years to materialize. Bangladeshi farmers also remain vulnerable to unpredictable weather conditions, market fluctuations, and pests, which can hamper their ability to repay loans. There has always been a critical need for collaborative efforts from corporates to streamline the financing measures for local farmers. Reflecting on this, EBL will now use iFarmer's farmer risk score, field monitoring, and last-mile support to provide farmers with their deserving amount of money. On the other hand, iFarmer will facilitate agriculture loans to farmers directly from the bank. The MoU was signed at the EBL Office in 100 Gulshan Avenue, Dhaka, where M. Khorshed Anowar, DMD and Head of Retail & SME Banking, EBL; and Fahad Ifaz, CEO and Co-founder, iFarmer, signed the agreement on behalf of their organizations. Among present dignitaries were Syed Zulkar Nayen, Head of Business, EBL; Mohammad Salekeen Ibrahim, Head of Asset, EBL; Md. Shabu Munshi, Head of Asset, SME, EBL; Irfan Islam, Banking and Financial Sector Advisor, iFarmer; Forhad Julfiker Rafel, Vice President of Field Operations; iFarmer; Ettesam Bari Rio, Assistant Manager-Financial Product & Service, iFarmer; and Kazi Fahim Farhan Sajid, Executive-Financial Product & Service, iFarmer.
