Charity by
Individual is not generally found in Bangladesh. Its like breaking the
mould and a new challenge. Jahangir's life is being threatened by local
HOOLIGANS / terrorists, as he is trying to make revolutionary approach for
social reforms; through own sacrifices and love for
mankind. |
Mr.
Jahangir has now decided to spent rest of his lives in social services. As
desired by his late father, he has donated all his earnings: wealth and
properties worth of US$ TWO MILLION to create these institutions:
1) An orphanage for 100 orphans, where more than
1765
orphans were being rehabilitated for the last 30yrs. Each of the orphans
were being provided fatherhood and motherhood responsibilities for 16 to
18 years. Many of
them are well established in the society. The complex was established with
an area of 5.6 acres of land. The main complex consists of 30 rooms with an area of
12000sqr.ft, built in 1970 many can
collapse at any time, causing a great human disaster, needs funding to
repair/rebuilding on Emergency basis to save the lives of 100 orphans. Now
we need international support to continue our humanitarian efforts.

2) In memory of his late mother (Fatema Matin) a
Women Degree College (named: Fatema Matin Women Degree College) was
established in 1993, now 845 girls with teaching staff of 65,The
college offering Degree in Commerce, Science & Social studies
.This is only girl college for a population of 1 million of this
area. All girls have to walk around 10-12 K.M per day to attend
college education, as no buses or no transportation services are available.
Education rate is about 12% but women 4/5 %, need more education
intervention. Poor students were being provided free teaching aid,
college uniforms & school scholarships too. We solicit financial
support to continue our activities. Empowering women trough
education. |
 Children of Charfassion
Orphanage
|
3) Mobile clinics for mother
& child health care ran for last 10 years for the remotest
islanders of Charfassion, for a population over 200,000 who are
living in different dotted islands of that area. In some areas, to approach it
requires 7/8 hours by a country boat in peace time but in a disaster
situation, we cannot even reach in 7/8 days. There is no doctor, no medical
camps. Most of them are fishermen, who catch fish in a deep sea. They do
not have any contact with main land, no schooling facilities available, we
run adult literacy classes as for the children. All services are free
including medicine. The project is about to be closed due to funding
crisis. Solicit funding.
