fried chicken brand operated by Transcom Foods Ltd (TFL) in Bangladesh, has
announced a new community initiative called "KFC Shopner Pathshala",
says a press release.
The initiative is
focused on giving back to underprivileged street-bound children across the
country by providing them with a safe and enjoyable learning environment.

restaurants. Each morning, the restaurants will be transformed into classrooms
where the children can enhance their skills in various areas, such as basic
literacy, mathematics, arts, vocational skills, social etiquette, and hygiene.
KFC has also procured supplies like books, stationary, school bags, and board
games, in addition to providing meals for the children during each session to
aid their learning growth.

initiative is a long-term project aimed at transforming the lives of
underprivileged children and providing them with brighter futures.

hopes that through this initiative, the children can build character and access
better opportunities, not only for themselves but also for their communities.
The company saw an opportunity to give back and is committed to making a real
difference in the lives of these children.
