Since day one, we have envisioned Alpha as something bigger than a company. Something more than just income statements and balance sheets. While a company must meet its metrics, we also strived to achieve a “social metric”. And now that dream of meeting that metric is slowly becoming a reality.
Alpha’s Pay it Forward Program ran its successful pilot last year and we can’t wait to roll it out full-scale. You can find more snippets of it from our Facebook page.
No, it is not about feeding leftovers to the poor. These are actually freshly cooked meals. We got this idea when a few of our clients were actually asking us to donate food on their behalf as an act of charity. That’s when we conceptualized to bring an international concept called “Suspended Meal” to Bangladesh.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
While making your payment to Alpha, just inform us that you want to pay BDT 50 exta for one nutritional meal for an underprivileged person. We tally that amount, cook the meals, and feed the hungry ourselves. Simple! To keep things transparent, you’ll get pictures from the day we distribute the meals.
We call it “Pay It Forward” because as we have been so fortunate to be blessed with so much! It’s time we give pass it on, it’s time we pay it forward.

WHAT’S THE WAY FORWARD?
Going forward you’ll see the Pay It Forward logo on all Alpha touchpoints, from invoices to our delivery vans. We’re trying to form partnerships with NGOs like Charity Right and expand this concept to more than just food. Imagine a day, when we can Pay toys, clothing, medicines forward! Isn’t that something worth striving for!
