About Mukti-Mancha

Mukti-Mancha Foundation is a Bangladesh non-profit organization located in Abalpur Village, Magura City. The Foundation was established by Mohammad Rouf in 2005 with a dozen different major objectives, but centered on Mohammad's simple but powerful dream: that every child deserves a childhood and every child should be able to go to school.

In Bangla, Mukti-Mancha literally means "a stage for freedom." Mukti-Mancha is currently focused on its Education and Cultural Program, which now includes about 120 children. The children receive from the Foundation: book supplies, clothing, medical help, and tuition fees paid directly to the local school. The Foundation identifies deserving students from primary school to university levels who are not in a position to continue their education due to financial hardships. The children live with their families and/or relatives, and they check with the Foundation office on a regular schedule to discuss their progress and needs.

Mukti-Mancha strongly believes that women need to be properly educated as they are future mothers, and therefore the most important building blocks of our societies. History has proven that illiterate mothers will likely raise illiterate and ineffective individuals. Alternatively, literate mothers will largely contribute to literate and effective individuals, contributing to effective and healthy societies.

Current items on the organization's wish list include the construction of separate buildings for a library, classrooms, and dormitories to enable some children to live at the facility.
