Asha Bangladesh: A socially Responsible Organization
Asha Bangladesh is a socially responsible business initiative. We commit to allocating 10% of our profit to support the education of disadvantaged women in Bangladesh.
Why does Asha Bangladesh want to help women?
The answer is simple.
Women are the backbone of Bangladeshi families. They are the heart of the household, keeping the family strong during both good times and bad. When a financial crisis strikes, the burden of providing food, shelter, healthcare, and education often falls on the wife. Many women in Bangladesh are unprepared for such a heavy responsibility. Furthermore, women in Bangladesh are frequently neglected or oppressed in various ways by society. They often face discrimination, violence, and lack of access to education. As a result, they are the most vulnerable members of society, suffering disproportionately compared to men.
Women make significant sacrifices during times of financial hardship, yet they are often the ones who hold families together. Empowering women through education and skill development is vital. Educated and skilled women have higher earning potential, which provides a better chance for their families to survive during financial crises.
The girl (name withheld to protect her identity) below lost her father in a tragic accident (he fell from a tree) while helping someone pick coconuts for money. After her father’s death, her mother started working as a farm and household help. She has two younger sisters, and her mother was unable to send her daughters to school. The girl in the picture is a bright student. She was accepted into a major public university in Bangladesh, but her mother could not afford the tuition. Dr. Mohammed Hashmat Ali stepped forward and took on the financial responsibility for her education and providing support to the family for more than 4 years. She has recently completed her undergraduate degree at a major public university in Bangladesh. She is preparing for the BCS exam, with the goal of securing a well-paying job in the public sector. Hopefully, she will soon be able to take on the financial responsibility for her family.
Dr. Mohammed Ali is financially assisting a few other families who lost their livelihoods during the COVID epidemic and have yet to recover from its impact. He is also supporting families with no earning members. He is doing this using his personal funds. He and his Asha Bangladesh team members hope to help more people in need through the income generated by this recruitment agency.
We need your support in our efforts to help who have fallen behind.
The girl who Dr. Mohammed Ali financially helped get an undergrad degree seen below with her academic adviser and mentor at her university in Bangladesh. She is now in a Masters program and preparing for BCS exam so she can get a good paying job in public service sector in Bangladesh.
Many less-fortunate members of our society, some shown below, earn less than $10 a day, which is often the only income supporting their families. There are many more people like them living around us. They need our help. Dr. Mohammed Ali and Mr. Munzurul Karim met these people at different locations in Bangladesh.
Asha Bangladesh promises to spend 10% of its profit on helping disadvantaged women in Bangladesh receive education, empowering them to assume responsibility for their families when the need arises.
