On 1994, we began the journey with big aspirations. Our dreams have been coming true. Ambala Foundation has 240 branch offices, 1602 employees, and 95,929 direct beneficiaries spread over 18 districts in Bangladesh; this makes me extremely delighted when I write this message. Through our development initiatives, as a national organization, more than 2 million direct and indirect people have benefited, and this number is going to continue to rise in the upcoming years.

Since the beginning, we have been working to promote human well-being. Our top priority is the welfare of the people. We have come across a variety of challenges while working in the development sector and we have learned new things from each challenging situation during our tenure. One of these challenges was the global Covid-19 pandemic since 2020. We have been fighting the coronavirus pandemic for the past years and huge losses have been suffered among our dependable and priceless beneficiaries. I’m immensely proud of our hardworking staff for taking on this dangerous COVID-19 scenario and offering our vulnerable communities all the support they needed. Bangladesh is having trouble recuperating from the effects of the coronavirus, just like the rest of the country.

Ambala Foundation was established, and since then, it has collaborated with the government to observe a lot of national festivals and carry out various development projects. The National Mourning Day celebration on August 15 is one of them. To remember this day, the Ambala Foundation conducted a “Doa Mahfil” and a “Tree Plantation Program” to pay heartfelt respect to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib, and all the martyrs who laid down their lives to make a nation.

Since 2019, Ambala Foundation has been working to ensure meritorious poor students’ education facilities through ‘Shwapnojatra-a need-based education support for poor meritorious students. Currently, 162 students (110 Male and 52 Female) from 36 districts taking higher education under this program. Since 2012, Ambala Foundation regularly broadcast social awareness programs through Radio Bikrampur 99.2 FM. Around 9,00,000 (nine lac) listeners from Munsiganj and adjacent areas regularly listen our awareness raising, educational and entertainment programs through Radio Bikrampur 99.2 FM.
