Shwapno Takes Initiative to Ensure a Sustainable Livelihood for Israt and Roza Moni’s Family

Cumilla, 14 October 2026: Shwapno, the country’s largest retail chain, has taken the initiative to support two young sisters, Israt and Roza Moni, who were left in a vulnerable situation after being separated from their mother in Brahmanpara, Cumilla. To help secure a sustainable livelihood for their family, the company has gifted them a cow. Through this initiative, Shwapno aims to help the family establish a sustainable source of income for the future.

On the afternoon of 11 October, local residents found five-year-old Israt and her one-and-a-half-year-old younger sister, Roza Moni, crying alone beside a road near Rose Garden Model School in Dakshin Bazar, Brahmanpara Upazila. According to Israt, their mother had brought them there on the pretext of buying them chips and then left them alone. After waiting for a long time without their mother returning, the two children found themselves in a distressing and helpless situation.

Later, the identities of the children were established through photographs and videos circulated on social media. Upon learning about the incident, one of their paternal aunts arrived at the scene and took the children into her care with assistance from local residents.

After learning about the children’s circumstances, Shwapno decided to extend support to their family. The cow is expected to enable the family to generate a regular income through livestock rearing and milk sales. The initiative is also expected to contribute to the children’s upbringing and help create a more secure future for them.

Shwapno believes that standing beside vulnerable members of society and creating opportunities for them to become self-reliant are important aspects of corporate social responsibility, alongside its business operations. The company also recognises the importance of supporting families to help ensure a safe and secure future for children. Through this initiative for Israt and Roza Moni, Shwapno hopes to bring a positive and lasting change to their family’s livelihood.
