Women’s empowerment is very important to me. Every year, I select brilliant students who have positive attitude towards life with hope and ambition for a brighter future. However these bright souls find themselves held back by the heavy burden of SSC examination fees and setbacks due to financial support. Taposhi is one of those promising students. She got a ‘Golden A+’ in her SSC exam from science group and I can’t express how happy and proud I am for her. By the grace of God, I have been covering all of her educational expenses every month. This year, she has been admitted to college for h ..read more

It is easy to take a restroom or toilet for granted. But everyone is not fortunate enough to build one. The best thing about a toilet is that it helps people have dignity, better health, safety and so much more. I am donating ‘Restroom/Toilets’ to old unfortunate elderly couples, fathers and widowed mothers (with young daughters) who are neglected by their children and who do not have the ability to make one for themselves and because of this basic need they are suffering in various ways. Mother of Brishty said, “My daughter has to wait until it gets dark to go to the toilet, because our toi ..read more

Dear friends, You may all remember Abdul Mojid Chacha and Chan Bahar Khala, a loving couple. Uncle Mojid, who was a hardworking and honest person, can’t work like before due to age. However, he does not want to see his wife in poverty, so he chooses to beg in different cities, hiding his struggles from his wife, who would otherwise feel distressed for her husband.

In the last two years with this one, I have been able to provide a total of 6 deep water pumps with your support and prayers. “The best charity is to provide water.” More than 15 families will collect water from this new deep tubewell.

Rahima Begum said, “We have a big problem with water here. It’s hard to explain how bad it is. To give my daughter a bath, I have to walk a long way to fetch water or have to u ..read more

Dear friends, By the grace of God, last week I was able to distribute 10 more bicycles among 10 underprivileged students. Alhamdullilah, with these 10, a total of 100 bicycle distributions has been completed till now. They had to walk 10-12 kilometers far from their villages. These students often face significant challenges without access to a bicycle. They have to walk long distances, which not only makes them tired but also consumes a significant amount of time. This leads to fatigue and reduced energy for studying. Furthermore, walking exposes them to safety risks, as they may have to tra ..read more
