Founder's Message

I am a visually impaired development professional and dedicated advocate for disability inclusion and rights, currently serving as the Founder and Executive Director of the . For more than 21 years, I have been working to promote dignity, equality, and inclusion for persons with disabilities across Bangladesh.

In 2005, I founded Disabled Child Foundation (DCF) with the support of committed professionals and persons with disabilities who shared a common vision for an inclusive society. Since then, the organization has been working to advance the rights and well-being of children, women, persons with disabilities, and marginalized communities throughout Bangladesh, guided by the principles of social justice and inclusion.

Over the past two decades, I have led and contributed to advocacy, capacity development, and inclusive development initiatives at different levels. I remain committed to building a society where children and persons with disabilities can enjoy equal rights and live with dignity, independence, and opportunity.

I completed my Master’s degree from the University of Dhaka, and my professional journey has been deeply shaped by the gradual loss of my vision during early life. Despite facing significant challenges, the unwavering support and encouragement of my family helped me build resilience, confidence, and determination to overcome adversity.
