‘Kindness is a mark of character’
– Shafique Uddin Khan
We at the Sher Khan Foundation love what we do. Our guiding principles help us deliver life changing support to communities and individuals who need it most.
We are firm believers in conducting what we do with respect and humanity, and therefore will never disclose the faces of the people we help in any of our publications. We also believe in conducting ourselves in a non proselytise manner, after all we are just one big family.
Below is a list of projects the Foundation is busy delivering within Bangladesh, focusing on the three pillars that we stand by, Shelter, Health, and Education.
Many households within the UK find themselves in the unfortunate circumstance of needing to utilise the facility of a local foodbank.

Deep Water Wells
At a cost of £1,428 motorised water wells are installed to provide fresh clean water for communities who need it most.
To benefit villages and communities communities throughout the year, the Foundation has chosen to install deep motorised water wells, as deploying shallow hand pumps typically leads to a shortage of water in the dry season when the water table is low.
School Fees – Children
We at the Foundation are firm believers that education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.
After building homes and providing health checks to inhabitants, the Foundation aims to focus on educating the next generation by paying the school fees of every child.
The annual cost of school fees including stationary and books is £62.
