Bhola means "forgotten place". It is a very poor island of approaching 2 million people who have next to nothing in terms of medical facilities and state social care. "Bhola Garden", the home and school we fund, is run by Howlader Ali who has an innovative approach to helping the disproportionate number of orphaned and disabled children on Bhola.
He aims to equip them to live in the community with dignity by providing:

Access to medical treatment on the mainland

Health education for the children and their families

Teaching those with different disabilities how to help each other

Training in life/employment skills eg sewing, swimming, growing vegetables

and all of this in a loving environment full of fun and laughter.

The trustees and core supporters not only make a financial commitment but keep in close touch with Ali and with each other. It is a very personal involvement like all being in one family. To Ali and his team in the "forgotten place" this emotional support from the other side of the world is every bit as important as the financial.

It is hoped this website will foster that feeling of involvement as our range of supporters grows.

The minimal costs of running the charity are met by the trustees. So (after deducting currency conversion and money transmission charges and any regulatory fees) every penny raised plus gift aid plus interest earned is forwarded to Bhola and spent on the children's welfare.
