BETTEX, a global apparel manufacturer and sourcing company,
has partnered with Shishu Polli Plus, a Bangladeshi NGO, to provide free
professional manufacturing support for its charity tote bag project. This
corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative pairs BETTEX's apparel
manufacturing expertise with local charitable work, bringing lasting support to
vulnerable single mothers and children across Bangladesh.
About Shishu Polli Plus
Founded in 1989, Shishu Polli Plus runs safe shelters for impoverished single mothers and their children. Beyond covering daily needs and providing secure, nurturing homes, the NGO delivers vocational training programmes. These courses give women the skills to build independent, stable lives for their families and break cycles of poverty that pass from one generation to the next.
The Charity Tote Bag Project
As part of its fundraising efforts, Shishu Polli Plus
launched a custom charity tote bag project. The bags will be sold across the
UK, with all proceeds going back into the organisation's support services for
mothers and children in need.
How BETTEX Solved the NGO's Manufacturing Challenge
With limited in-house production capacity, the charity
struggled to fulfil the bulk order within the required timeline. Most
commercial manufacturers turned the project down, citing tight deadlines and
thin margins on charity orders. When BETTEX learned of the situation, the team
stepped in with its full capabilities in product development, craftsmanship,
quality assurance, and delivery management at the BETTEX Premium manufacturing
facility. BETTEX supplied manufacturing resources at no cost and completed the
entire order on schedule, a clear example of ethical, sustainable manufacturing
in the garment industry.
Shishu Polli Plus Founder Visits BETTEX Premium Factory
During production, Mrs. Pat, founder of Shishu Polli Plus,
visited the BETTEX Premium factory. She praised the team's professionalism and
its support for the initiative, and held a detailed discussion with BETTEX
representatives about the current partnership and possible long-term projects
ahead.
BETTEX Chairman Frank Yi Visits Shishu Polli Plus in Dhaka
BETTEX’s relationship with Shishu Polli Plus began last year December, when a team of Chinese investors and delegators, led by Chairman Frank Yi, visited the Shishu Polli Plus facility in Dhaka. The team spend meaningful quality time with the children and learn firsthand how the organisation operates. The team committed to exploring future collaboration, support, and sustainable community development.
BETTEX's Commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility in Bangladesh
This project reflects BETTEX's commitment to putting its
industrial resources toward the communities around it, with thanks to Chairman
Frank Yi and BETTEX Premium factory head Owen for their support. The
collaboration has strengthened the bond between BETTEX and Shishu Polli Plus,
and the brand looks forward to continuing this work, helping vulnerable women
and children build stable incomes and break cycles of poverty in Bangladesh.
