Establishing hygienic habits is a significant social issue in Bangladesh since, in addition to its hot and humid climate, a number of communities lack proper sanitation. Therefore, the Lion Group participated in educational programs for general consumers under the Project for Strengthening the Inspection, Regulatory and Coordinating Function of the Bangladesh Food Safety Authority (BFSA), which has been developed by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the BFSA to educate Bangladeshi elementary school students about good handwashing and hygiene habits related to food safety.
In 2025, Lion Kallol Limited conducted educational activities on food hygiene at 651 elementary schools, for a total of 52,080 students, in Manikganj District, Dhaka Division, promoting proper knowledge of food hygiene, food safety and handwashing among children.
Stories with large illustrations and card games helped children learn proper hygiene habits in a fun way.
Illustrations and other art used in these picture shows were made under the supervision of Dhaka University and were judged by teachers to be easily understood, with praise including “These showed examples of good habits and bad habits, so it was very helpful” and “These are good because it is easy for students to relate them to their own lifestyles” being given. These ideas were useful for us to improve certain aspects.
This activity was featured in 36 newspapers and covered by 25 TV news stations. As a result, many people living in Bangladesh were able to learn about Lion Kallol Limited’s activities.
