What we do
Five programs, all of them free to the people who use them, all of them run from the same office beside the Meghna at Baishmouja Bazar. Healthcare is the oldest and the largest. Food and emergency relief answer the shocks that push a household under. Education and livelihood grants are how families stay out of trouble the next time.
Food Support
Food is the first thing a household loses when the work stops. Our Food Support program answers that in four ways: emergency relief, Eid and Ramadan packages, regular rations and cooked meals at community distributions.
Emergency Relief
When a flood, a fire, a cold snap or a medical emergency hits a household here, our job is to arrive in days rather than months, and to say honestly what we can and cannot cover.
Education
Three pillars: a stipend so a child is not withdrawn from school for the price of a uniform, free computer training that ends in a certificate, and free technical education in trades that pay.
Livelihood
One asset, given once, to a household with no capital at all. A goat, a stock of medicines, a stall. After that the household is on its own, which is the point.
Our story
On Monday 6 June 2019 the first health camp was held at Pirbari in Uttar Lakshmipur Hajir Hati village, in the shade of mango and guava trees. It was organized in honor of A.K. Rafiqul Hussain, known across this region as Khair Mia Sab, by his son Moyeedul Hussain Marshal.
On 4 July that year, with the cooperation of the government-registered development organization Ek Ronga Ek Ghuri, the Abul Khair Health Care project was inaugurated in front of doctors, nurses, volunteers and community elders. Since then a team of two specialist doctors has written prescriptions and handed out urgent medicines every week at the Baishmouja Bazar office.
Over the first five years the organization treated close to 44,000 people. By May 2026 we reported passing 70,000 in seven years of continuous work. Alongside the clinic we run IT training for students, support programs for families, and the construction of an academic building at Uttar Lakshmipur High School that will house vocational education.

How we work
We run short-term and long-term programs and respond to emergencies as they happen. Every project follows a written action plan, and integrity, transparency and monitoring are the principles we are judged on.
Plan
Each project starts with a written plan: what will be done, who is involved, what it costs and what the family or the village should get out of it. Projects are sorted into past, present and future work so that nothing is counted twice.
Deliver
Clear start and end dates, a named person responsible, and monitoring at every phase. Local volunteer organizations, elders, teachers and students take part in the campaigns and community meetings, and the local administration is kept informed.
Report
Every activity is reported back to the donors and supporters who paid for it, and summarized on this website and our Facebook page. Regular assessment tells us where the quality slipped and what to change next time.

Where the money goes
We run our regular activities on monthly contributions from members, donations from friends and well-wishers, and the work of volunteers. For each project we set a proposed budget and raise against it, and after an emergency we go back to the community for extra help. Every donor receives a report on the activity they funded. Our bank details are published in full so that anyone can give directly.
Stand with Nabinagar
A donation pays for the medicine handed out on a Friday morning. An hour of your time helps register patients, pack relief parcels or teach a computer class.
