Abstract:
Investing in Ourselves: Giving and Fund Raising in Bangladesh seeks to document Asian fundraising experience in order to supplement or replace imported models and experience for use in local training; and to demonstrate that charitable giving and volunteering takes place even in relatively poor countries that do not share Western cultural traditions.

To provide basic, scientific, vocational and moral education to boys and girls of the low income group and the hard-to-reach poor. To provide financial help, training in income-generating activity and other assistance to orphans, elderly, destitute and the deserted. To provide medical and health care to the poor and the destitute including emergency medical relief during disasters. To provide free ambulance service for the needy. To perform the last rites of burials for the dead Muslims handed over to Anjuman by the poor, hospitals or the police. And to provide relief in areas affected by natural calamities.
