MTB Foundation teams up with ActionAid to help indigenous people

MTB Foundation has recently entered into an agreement with ActionAid International Bangladesh Society for a project titled 'Community Strengthening Project for Indigenous Community in Bandarban'.

The collaborative effort aims to bring about positive transformation in the lives of marginalised indigenous communities residing in Naikhyongpara and Halirampara villages of Thanchi, Bandarban, said a press release.

As part of the partnership, MTB Foundation will finance the construction and repair of the gravity flow system at Naikhyongpara and Halirampara in Thanchi.
