About
Who we are
Abul Khair Welfare Organization is a registered welfare organization working in the villages of Nabinagar Upazila, Brahmanbaria. We are named after A.K. Rafiqul Hussain, and we have run a free weekly clinic without a break since 2019.
A local organization, run by local people
The distinguished individual of this region is A.K. Rafiqul Hussain, known as Khair Mia Sab, a legendary and highly respected personality in the area. In honor of his name, his son Moyeedul Hussain Marshal began this effort to improve the lives of people here, focusing on development, education, healthcare and infrastructure.
The work is deliberately small in scale and close to home. The clinic office sits at Baishmouja Bazar on the Meghna river bank. The academic building is going up at Uttar Lakshmipur High School. The families who receive winter blankets live in Krishnanagar and Birgaon Unions. Everything we do can be visited in an afternoon, which is exactly how we want donors to be able to check it.
We are not a political organization and we do not run any business for profit. We take no position in local politics and we ask nothing of the people we serve beyond their name and their symptoms.
What we actually do
Five programs. Healthcare is the largest and the oldest: a free clinic every Friday at Baishmouja Bazar, plus mobile camps that go out to villages roughly twice a month. Food Support delivers emergency grocery packages, Ramadan and Eid packages, and regular rations to households that cannot manage month to month.
Emergency Relief covers the shocks: floods, winter cold, house fires and medical emergencies that a family cannot pay for. Education runs stipends from primary to higher secondary level, a free computer course that has completed eighteen batches, and the polytechnic training that will be taught in the Academic Building now under construction. Livelihood grants give a household with no capital a single productive asset, once, outright.
None of it charges the people who use it. There is no membership, no means test on the clinic door and no requirement to come from a particular village, community or party. We ask patients for their name, their age and their symptoms, and nothing else.

Founder’s Message
Marshall M. Hussain, Founder and Chairperson, on why a family known for public service in Brahmanbaria chose to build a free clinic rather than a monument.
Team & Volunteers
Twelve people carry this organization: three in leadership, five on the medical side, two running field programs and campaigns, and volunteers who give their Fridays to registration, crowd management and follow-up.
Governance
Who we are registered with, where the money comes from, how a budget is set and what every donor gets back in writing.
Partners
We are a small organization and almost nothing we do is done alone. These are the groups whose people, permissions and equipment make the work possible.
Come and see the work
The clinic is open to visitors every Friday morning. If you would rather help from where you are, a donation buys the medicine we hand out that day.
