About

Our History

From one health camp under the mango trees at Pirbari in 2019 to more than 70,000 patients treated. This page keeps the account written by the organization itself, corrected only for spelling.

Back story of Abul Khair Welfare Organization

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 capable son, Moyeedul Hussain Marshal, initiated this noble effort to improve the lives of people in the region, focusing on development, education, healthcare, and infrastructure.

On Monday, June 6, 2019, the first health camp was organized in the serene environment of Pirbari in Uttar Lakshmipur Hajir Hati village, surrounded by green shade from mango and guava trees. This marked the beginning of the “Abul Khair Welfare Organization” providing services to the region. On July 4, with the cooperation of the government-registered development organization “Ek Ronga Ek Ghuri,” the inauguration of the “Abul Khair Health Care” (AKHC) project took place in a joyful atmosphere, with the presence of doctors, nurses, volunteers, and respected community members.

Since then, a team of two specialist doctors has been providing prescriptions and urgent medicines every week at the traditional Baishmouja Bazar office. Over the past five years, the organization has provided healthcare to nearly 44,000 people. Additionally, it has been providing IT training to students, offering support programs, and constructing an academic building at Uttar Lakshmipur High School, which will include vocational education facilities.

The Abul Khair Welfare Organization has made significant contributions to various social and voluntary activities in the villages under the Brahmanbaria district's Nabinagar Upazila, specifically in the Krishnanagar Union.

Our work process and implementation strategy

We operate through both short-term and long-term initiatives while also responding to emergencies when needed. Each project follows a structured action plan, ensuring efficiency and impact. Our approach aligns with national and international standards, maintaining transparency and accountability at every stage.

Project list

We categorize our projects into past, present and future initiatives, covering various social welfare sectors. Keeping the three lists separate is what stops the same work being counted twice in two different years.

Project implementation

Each project follows a strategic plan detailing execution steps, involved stakeholders, and the benefits delivered. We ensure that beneficiaries receive maximum support through organized efforts.

Project timeline

We set clear start and end dates for each initiative, with dedicated monitoring at every phase. Regular assessments help us maintain quality, make necessary improvements, and sustain our impact.

Our core principles are integrity, transparency and rigorous monitoring. Every phase of our projects undergoes careful observation and evaluation to ensure they achieve the intended impact, providing maximum benefit to those in need.

Our objectives

These are the aims written into the organization's founding documents. Some are met every week, some are long-term commitments we have only begun.

Abul Khair Welfare OrganizationOur vision

Stakeholders and associated organizations

Our organization has collaborated with Ek Ronga Ek Ghuri, a nationally and internationally recognized development organization registered under the Government of Bangladesh.

Each campaign, seminar, community meeting and project implementation involves local volunteer organizations, respected elders, freedom fighters, educators, students, and professionals from all backgrounds. We also keep local government offices, relevant departments and administrative bodies informed about our ongoing activities.

Money in, money reported

How we prepare budgets and raise funds

We manage our regular activities through monthly contributions from our members, donations from like-minded friends and well-wishers, and support from volunteers. For ongoing projects, we set a proposed budget and raise funds accordingly to ensure smooth execution.

In times of emergencies, such as natural disasters, accidents or floods, we reach out to the community for additional support. Many individuals join our cause through these appeals, helping us extend our impact further.

How we report to donors

For every activity or project, we provide detailed reports to the respective donors and supporters. Additionally, we share updates on our official social media pages and website, where we publish details about projects, campaigns and other programs.

Transparency and integrity are our core strengths, and we are committed to maintaining complete clarity in all our organizational activities.

Assistance for students in three pillars

1. Stipend for general education

Many students in our communities struggle to afford basic educational expenses. Through our stipend program we provide financial aid to deserving students from primary to higher secondary level.

2. Free computer education

In today's world, digital literacy is not optional. To equip students with modern skills we offer free computer training courses at the Abul Khair Computer Training Center, which has now completed eighteen batches of its Office Applications course.

3. Free polytechnic education

To create skilled professionals and reduce unemployment we provide free technical education in welding and plumbing, electrical and mechanical work, garment sewing, and air conditioning and refrigeration. These courses will be taught in the Abul Khair Academic Building now under construction at Uttar Lakshmipur High School.
