Lotus Ministry Trust announces a winter blanket donation initiative supporting vulnerable communities in Bangladesh as cold-season health risks continue to rise.

San Francisco, United States, November 23, 2025 -- Lotus Ministry Trust has announced an appeal for donations to purchase winter blankets as part of its ongoing food relief efforts in Bangladesh, where seasonal temperature drops continue to place vulnerable communities at heightened risk. Although Bangladesh is widely associated with a warm, humid climate, winter conditions in northern districts can fall close to freezing, posing significant challenges for families without adequate protection.

Cold exposure remains an underrecognized public health concern in Bangladesh. According to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department, winter nighttime temperatures can dip below 5°C in several regions, creating conditions that disproportionately affect children, the elderly, and those living in poverty. Research published by the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (icddr,b), has documented increases in pneumonia, respiratory infections, and cold-related complications during winter months. The risks are especially high in low-income communities where access to warm clothing and insulated housing is limited. The organization notes that such illnesses rise sharply each year, emphasizing the need for practical interventions that provide immediate protection from the cold.

A warm blanket serves as one of the most effective and accessible tools for preventing winter-related illness in regions lacking heating infrastructure, explains Lotus Ministry Trust. In remote northern communities, many households rely entirely on donated blankets to endure the coldest weeks of the year. Many families entering the colder months do so with limited resources, making the simple assurance of a warm blanket an essential part of community resilience efforts.

Lotus Ministry Trust has, therefore, incorporated blanket distribution into its broader food relief program. During past winters, the organization reached remote villages where access to aid is limited, ensuring that families already experiencing food insecurity receive added protection against the cold. This year’s initiative builds on that experience, addressing the continued need as economic pressures and climate variability intensify the challenges faced by Bangladeshi low-income households.

Representatives from the charity report increasing demand for winter support this year, particularly from communities recovering from seasonal floods and crop losses. Donations from as low as $20 can provide a wool or fleece blanket to someone in dire need.
