Impact

The social arm is not a side project. It is the moat.

Most companies bolt social work onto a business. Ours runs on the same wiring — because in a market where the barrier is trust rather than technology, being visibly useful to a community is a distribution strategy.

The agent who brought flood relief to that lane in September is the agent whose payment product the shopkeeper adopts in October. Nothing else buys that.
Why we don't separate the two

What we run

Four programmes, one network.

Delivered through agents and shops that are already there, already known, and already trusted — which is why it costs less and lands better than a convoy.

01

Women's education

Keeping girls in school, and shopkeepers' daughters in college

Adult female literacy sits at 77% against 81% for men, and the gap in female secondary dropout has been widening. We fund school costs, run digital and financial literacy sessions for women, and recruit women as agents so the person explaining money in a village is a woman.

02

Food for people in hardship

Delivered through shops that are already the centre of the lane

The shop is where a neighbourhood already goes. That makes it the fastest, least humiliating way to get food to a family having a bad month — no queue in a field, no stranger asking questions.

03

Flood and disaster relief

5.7 million people affected in 2024 alone

Bangladesh's 2024 floods stranded 1.24 million families, and across all that year's climate disasters roughly 18 million people were affected — more than half of them women. Our agents are already in those unions before the water arrives and after it leaves.

04

Women's livelihoods

7.2% of Bangladeshi businesses are women-owned

Women-owned enterprises receive 7.35% of CMSME loans. We onboard women-run shops and home businesses first, and build the transaction record that turns an invisible enterprise into a borrower.

For banks and MFS partners

The sector has a CSR delivery problem. We are the channel.

Bangladeshi banks are not short of CSR budget. They are short of ways to spend it that reach the right people and stand up to scrutiny afterwards.

The need is not abstract

Bangladesh's 2024 floods affected more than 5.7 million people and stranded 1.24 million families; across all of that year's climate disasters roughly 18 million people were affected, more than half of them women. Adult female literacy sits at 77% against 81% for men, and the gap in female secondary dropout has been widening.

One integrated proposition: a merchant-acquisition channel and a CSR delivery channel that reinforce each other.

Your onboarding costs buy community goodwill. Your CSR budget buys merchant trust. Same feet, same ground, one set of reporting.

Accountability

How we intend to report this.

Social spending is easy to describe and hard to verify. We would rather be held to numbers than to photographs.

  • Named unions and wards, not “rural Bangladesh” — you can go and check.
  • Beneficiary counts with method, so a household reached twice is not counted twice.
  • Cost per person reached, published alongside the total, because a big number over a big budget means nothing.
  • What didn't work, in the same report as what did.

As a young organisation we are publishing the standard before we have the track record. Hold us to it.

Fund a programme

If you have a CSR budget looking for a last mile, we have one.

Education, food security and disaster response, delivered through a network that is in the lane every week anyway — with reporting your board and your regulator can read.
