IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE ALL-KNOWING, GIVE THE GIFTS OF EDUCATION & SKILLS TRAINING TO THE COASTAL (CHAR) PEOPLE OF BANGLADESH
Education Charities Make
Learning Possible for Students.
It was a modest beginning; one member (Firoz Khan) of the Khan Family donated 2 acres of land in remembrance of his parents to build religious and academic institutions. Other family members quickly joined in, followed by the community and some friends of the family. The oldest member (Dr. Showkat Khan) of the Khan Family, who previously expressed interest in charitable activities, was soon called in to support and to lead. Although haphazardly done, in a short 6 years (2017-2023) several institutions were built in the land located in the Char area. Student enrollment has already surpassed 100, while the teaching staff reached to six. It was unanimously decided to expand the academic programs to other Char areas and, importantly, to build a vocational educational institute in the Char area.

Who We Serve
KEHSF serves a special category of Bangladesh people called the Char People (coastal people), who lives isolated in the Char land/areas (coastal areas) and are deprived of the advantages and benefits of living in the mainland of the rest of the country. They are further disadvantaged because the char areas, by nature, are infested with devastating high tidal bore, tornado, flood, cyclone, and the salinity.

Let’s donate to needy people for better lives
The Founder of the organization, Dr. Khan, even though lived in USA more than 40 years, traces a sentimental attachment to the Char people, few of them are his relatives and few others are acquaintances. These people were placed in the cyclone/tornado-infested char area with only 2.5 acres of land in 1950s and 1960s. They struggled to live in there and even gave life over the years, and now are destitute. They used up land to build houses for their descendants. Help is urgently needed for these people to break the cycle of poverty through education and skills training.
