A Charity dedicated to helping Bangladeshi and Bengali-speaking people particularly in matters of education, information and opportunity.

230 million people speak Bengali:
 in  the country of Bangladesh, in the state of West Bengal in India, and scattered in many cities around the world.  
It’s number five language in the world!

A talented and out-going people, yet most have suffered from the devastation of poverty, lack of health care and very limited educational opportunities – as well as frequent natural disasters.

In Bangladesh
We focus on providing educational opportunities, adult literacy, and vocational training.
We delight to partner with ethnic   Bengali-speakers in achieving this. 
Help is always given according to need without bias, carefully monitored for integrity and effectiveness.

We have up-grading the facilities of a primary school in a village in Sylhet. We have provided English books for public library schemes.  We support a school for a slum children in Dhaka.

Through the Human Resources Development Project we help by providing under-resourced schools with libraries, desks and benches, toilets, and clean water supply.

Adult Literacy
Women’s literacy is just 30%. In the Bhoirob area, this family lead an organisation that every year helps 300 women learn to read and write.  200 more go onto a second year of practice.

Self-support, information and values
We are enabling a number of young men to further their education while
supporting their families.  They do this by street-selling good books on general knowledge, health and spiritual values.

We sponsor vocational training schemes:-   tailoring,  electrical, computing and handicraft marketing. We initiate and assist in translation and publishing projects such as “Pilgrims Progress” and an Aids Prevention booklet.

Disaster Relief
2006 Floods in eastern Bangladesh
2007 Jamuna river breaks its dikes and submerges three districts
2008 Cyclone Sidr kills 3500 people
2009 Tidal wave makes all the fresh drinking water in the south-west saline.

Where we can, we help.

In the West, we help by
* facilitating volunteers to assist the children of Bangladeshi families with English,
* through form-filling, translation assistance, advice on practical matters
* through meeting some of the social and domestic needs faced by families dislocated from their home countries.
