By the grace of Allah (SWT) and your generous support, the fundraising of Al-Ihsan Girl’s School of Bangladesh went well with a record number in attendance. Even though we didn’t reach our goal, we are sure our generous brothers and sisters will help us reach in the upcoming days.
We thank you all who participated at this event and who couldn’t because of other needs; may Allah(SWT) shower His blessing on all of you. Special thanks to our fundraiser, Seikh Refaat Mohamed who left his family behind in Toronto and travelled all the way here to raise funds for these destitute children. We also thank all of our volunteers who worked hard to make this event successful. Here is a recap and some recent updates on Al-Ihsan Girl’s School of Bangladesh.
Al-Ihsan Girl’s School is located in Hashara, a remote village of Munshiganj district of Bangladesh. Al Ihsan has been diligently working here for last 15 years to help improve the livelihood of the poor and destitute and enlighten them with the light of education.
Al Ihsan was founded back in 2004 to serve the underprivileged and needy. The organization started its journey with 30 part-time adult female students in a small tin-shed house. Now, it has a 5-story academic building and 2 two-story buildings for orphans.
Currently the orphanage can accommodate up to 60 children.
This center has two independent sections: Al Ihsan Girls’ School and Hifzul Quran Center. By the grace of Almighty, both the sections have their own Qur’an memorizing programs. Al Ihsan provides general education and vocational training to 224 non-resident students at the moment from Pre-K up to grade-8. The Orphanage has 21 orphan children under specialized curriculum focusing on memorization of the holy Quran along with regular studies and vocational training. This institution has become a beacon of confidence for the poor people of the area who could not think of educating their children otherwise.
A strict admission criterion is being maintained in the orphanage to ensure that the benefit reaches to the children in most need. The orphanage takes care of all sorts of needs of the orphans under its care. Thanks to the generous support of Muslims around the world.
Al-Ihsan provides basic Islamic education to elderly women early in the morning.
Al-Ihsan also contributes in the society through initiatives like blanket distribution, deep water-well installation for arsenic free water, tree plantation and distribution of Zakat, fitrana and Qurbani meat. Since 2004, Al-Ihsan installed many water wells in surround villages. And it is saving thousands of people from this poisonous arsenic. Al-Ihsan also reach out to many natural and humanitarian disaster victims of Bangladesh. Al-Ihsan helped the SIDR cyclone victims in 2007 and installed water-well and temporary shelter at Rohingiya refugee camp in 2018.
We still have in our list to upgrade the school up to grade 10 and add 40 more orphans to our orphanage and this could only be possible with your support, cooperation and prayer.
The last but not the least, we request your help to our Fitrana and Zabiha program where we distribute a food package to each student’s family so that they can celebrate their Eid with a good meal Jazakallah Khaer
