We want to launch scholarships to complete the higher education of insolvent and meritorious students of 9(nine) upazilas of the district.
For this, we are expecting donation as much as possible to all concerned.
As you know, many aged poor people are in different villages of our 9(nine) upazilas, who need or have to buy medicines to survive. But they are unable to purchase life saving medicines. In most cases, due to financial crisis, families deny treatment of older member of the family and purchase medicines for them . We are thinking of providing monthly financial assistance of amount Tk. 1000/- to each poor patient’s treatment.
We know, there are many more kindhearted citizens of Habigonj district in home and abroad who have been earning good income , mentionable numbers are doing good businesses in the country, many of our relatives and friends are doing high-paying jobs . They may kindly donate monthly Tk.1000/- for one or more poor patients.
Besides, There are mentionable numbers of hardcore poor patients have been suffering from severe diseases. But it’s impossible for them to be treated by spending huge amount of money .
We have plans to provide them with financial assistance. We would request everyone concerned to come forward to implement this plan.
It is not possible for this organization alone. If we get possible support from all of you, then we can do a lot.
