We're building an orphanage in Sylhet to give 300 orphaned girls a safe, warm home, education, dignity and daily care.
Sylhet remains one of the most vulnerable regions of Bangladesh. Heavy rains, monsoons, and flash floods strike each year, often followed by deadly landslides that destroy homes and livelihoods. These natural disasters, coupled with ongoing violence across the area, mean many children are left without parents, without shelter, and without the stability, support, and opportunity that every child deserves.
For orphaned girls especially, the consequences can be catastrophic. Without protection, many face risks of exploitation, child marriage, or a lifetime of poverty. Even where help exists, it rarely lasts long enough to rebuild what’s been lost - safety, structure, confidence, and a sense of belonging that supports healthy growth.
Bangladesh has made incredible progress in closing the gender gap in education over the past two decades. But for girls without parents, access to school is still largely out of reach. With no one to guide them, many girls in Sylhet miss out on learning the very skills that could help to secure their independence and dignity.
We are building Mostura Orphan Village to change that story; to give these girls not just walls and classrooms, but a foundation for a future built on safety, faith, and opportunity.
Every donation, large or small, keeps the work moving in the right direction. Funding support helps to cover the essential elements that make this vision possible:
In addition to direct site and facilities costs, we also need to fund the operation of the project itself while ensuring a ‘safety net’ to protect against unforeseen risks:
Every contribution helps bring this vision closer to reality. Together, we can create a space where orphaned girls can heal, learn, and grow into confident, capable young women ready to shape a brighter future for themselves and their community.
Once funding is secured, construction and setup will move quickly. The entire build and preparation phase is projected to take 12–15 months, with completion possible within a year depending on the pace of donations and resource availability.
Phase 1: Land Acquisition - COMPLETE
☑ Land development: Land levelling, boundary wall construction, and site grading
☑ Site preparation: Soil testing, foundation layout, and initial landscaping work
☑ Infrastructure setup: An access road and temporary utilities were established
Phase 2: Structure and Foundation - IN PROGRESS
☐ Construction: 12,000–14,000 sq. ft. of total built-up area is under construction
☐ Utilities and infrastructure: Electrical wiring, lighting, fans, and backup power
☐ Sanitation: Drainage, sewage systems, and sanitary fittings are being developed
Phase 3: Community and Education - PENDING
☐ Interior: Beds, wardrobes, desks, classroom/kitchen furniture, office equipment
☐ Outdoor facilities: Playground, garden, security gate, CCTV, fire safety systems
☐ Health, education, welfare: Books, computers, medical and training equipment
We’ve come a long way, but the most important work is still ahead. Every stage of progress at Mostura Orphan Village depends on continued generosity from people just like you who believe no child should grow up without safety, education, or care.
It’s your support that keeps the project moving forward. Your donations will contribute directly towards the final phases of the project, providing vital learning materials, and ensuring that when the doors open, everything a child needs to live, learn, and thrive is already in place, ready to transform lives and create livelihoods.
