Al Ghani Foundation was founded in 2021 with a heartfelt mission to create a better Bangladesh by addressing some of the country's most critical needs. It began as a labor of love, inspired by personal loss, and has grown into a movement that empowers communities through mental health support, education, and social entrepreneurship. The story of the Foundation is deeply personal, yet its impact is felt by thousands across the country.

Foundation's journey started with Project Rummana, an initiative close to the heart of its founder, Taqiul Ghani. In 2021, Taqiul faced the devastating loss of his mother, Rummana, to COVID-19. During his struggle with grief, he realized how limited mental health resources were for students in Bangladesh. Determined to fill this gap, he launched Project Rummana, named in his mother’s honor, to provide mental health support for students who often feel overlooked and unsupported.

What sets Project Rummana apart is its ongoing nature. It’s not just an event but a continuous support system. Students and communities can reach out at any time for counseling, workshops, or treatment. Over the past three years, the project has reached more than 12,000 students, making a tangible difference in reducing stigma and improving mental health access in Bangladesh.

In 2023, after seeing the positive impact of Project Rummana, the Foundation launched its second initiative, the Al Ghani Scholarship. This program is about nurturing future leaders – young people who dream of creating change through social entrepreneurship and deeply love their country. The scholarship process is competitive: the Foundation identifies promising students through competitions at educational institutions, selects the top three from each institute, and provides them with financial support and mentorship.

The goal is not just to support their academic journey but to guide them toward becoming impactful leaders and entrepreneurs who can drive meaningful change in their communities. Through this program, the Al Ghani Foundation is planting the seeds for a brighter future, one student at a time.

Adding another chapter to its story of personal legacy and national impact, the Foundation introduced Project Nasimul—named in honor of Taqiul Ghani’s father, Brig. Gen. Md. Nasimul Gani. This initiative extends the Foundation’s commitment to empowering the next generation by offering merit-based scholarships and mentorship to financially disadvantaged students who exhibit academic excellence, a passion for social entrepreneurship, and strong ethical values. In collaboration with institutions such as Rotnogorva Farida Zaman School & College, Project Nasimul selects students per cycle. Each selected student receives monthly financial support along with personalized mentorship sessions with the Foundation’s founder. Regular evaluations ensure that the recipients not only continue to excel academically but also grow as ethical leaders ready to contribute to a just and prosperous Bangladesh.

Since its inception, the Al Ghani Foundation has continued to grow and expand its impact. Guided by a vision of a Bangladesh where mental health is prioritized, education is accessible, and opportunities are abundant, the Foundation is constantly working on new projects to serve the country’s most vulnerable communities. These initiatives also aim to preserve Bangladesh’s rich cultural heritage and promote social justice.

The Foundation’s work is powered by a strong network of local and international supporters, including non-resident Bangladeshis who share its vision for a brighter future. Together, they’re building a movement that unites people and resources for the common good.

The Al Ghani Foundation is more than just an organization – it’s a testament to how personal pain can lead to collective healing. From Taqiul’s deeply personal journey to its current role as a force for positive change, the Foundation remains rooted in compassion, integrity, and the belief that everyone deserves access to opportunities and support.

With every project, the Foundation moves closer to its dream of a Bangladesh where every individual can thrive. Its work continues to inspire hope, create opportunities, and build a legacy of resilience and empowerment for generations to come.
