Bkash, the country’s largest mobile financial service provider, has modernized the library of St. Joseph Higher Secondary School in Dhaka as part of its social responsibility initiative. The modernization was carried out in memory of late Bkash official Mahfuz Sadiq, a former student of the school. The upgraded facility now allows around fifty students to read simultaneously and borrow books using membership cards.

The renovation included structural improvements and the addition of several high-configuration desktop computers with internet access, enabling students to read e-books from home and abroad. A commemorative event was held at the school to honor Mahfuz Sadiq, attended by Bkash executives, school authorities, alumni, and his family members.

Bkash has been supporting reading programs since 2014 through partnerships with the Bishwo Shahitto Kendro, distributing over 400,000 books to more than 3,000 institutions and benefiting 3.4 million readers. The company continues to modernize libraries across educational institutions nationwide.
