Message from the Founder and Trustee Chair
Dear Friends and Fellows,
Assalamu Alaikum. Welcome to our information site.
I am pleased to inform you that the Dr. Muhammad Fakhrul Islam Foundation (MFIF) is officially registered with the government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh in the year 2011 as a charitable organization dedicated to the welfare of helpless elderly persons, orphaned babies, and other oppressed individuals in Bangladesh.
In our beloved homeland of Bangladesh, where the vast majority of people live below the poverty line, there are immense opportunities to serve the underprivileged community. Life is precarious, and sustaining a charity organization here is challenging. As a non-political, non-profit, and non-governmental organization, we strive to ensure a better today for a hopeful tomorrow. We are committed to improving the living standards of the oppressed through the cost-effective utilization of our limited resources, exploring alternative energy sources, preserving the environment, ensuring access to safe water and food, enhancing productivity in agriculture and other sectors, providing healthcare, education, and meeting other basic needs of society, particularly for the poverty-stricken population. Though our efforts may be modest compared to many renowned charities, we are determined to make a meaningful impact within our capabilities.
Our CHILDCARE HOME and ISLAMIC MADRASHA serve more than 150 children with varying needs, including orphans. We are committed to providing them with a safe and nurturing environment and a sound education. Additionally, we plan to transfer our Madrasha from Dhaka to our education campus in the Chandpur district of Bangladesh soon.
We also operate an almost Free Ambulance Service, transporting several poor patients to hospitals daily from Demra to other parts of Dhaka. Unfortunately, our ambulance services sometimes face challenges due to the limited number of ambulances available. Despite this, our ambulances are available 24/7 and strive to assist as many patients as possible.
Additionally, the foundation has taken the initiative to bury or cremate unclaimed deceased individuals. This program benefits not only Muslims but also people of other faiths, ensuring dignity in death for the poor and unclaimed.
Our circumcision program addresses the secret sorrow and shame many male children and even grown-ups feel due to the inability to afford circumcision. While some parents spend thousands of taka on this procedure, others cannot afford a few hundred takas. Our foundation provides this essential service to underprivileged children and adults who missed circumcision in their childhood due to economic reasons.
We dream of creating a peaceful and prosperous society filled with happiness. We believe in prioritizing humanity over religion. With humane kindness, we are working tirelessly for societal betterment within our limited means. Few social workers undertake such charitable endeavors in our time. Most of our team members are young, under 30, dedicating their savings to serving the distressed rather than securing their futures. We are mentally stronger than financially and more physically active than economically powerful. We believe the Almighty will support us as we care for His creations. Our dreams may seem overwhelming if we strive to achieve them alone, so we earnestly request support from other significant entities.
May God bless every wise initiative.
Sincerely,
