Trustees Annual Report 2022-2023

I, Mohammed Abdul Wadud, am submitting the Trustees Report for Abdul Bari Shahidunessa (ABS) Academy and Community Development Project for the year 2022-2023. The ABS academy and Community Development Project was formed in 2010 by the children of the late Abdul Bari and Shahidunessa Khatun in England. It was our father’s dream to establish an academy in his village to educate the socially and economically disadvantaged children, and to assist the poor and vulnerable orphans to become solvent in their lives.

The aims and objectives of the academy are:

To promote the education and training for orphaned children who are unable to gain these skills due to their social and economic circumstances
To promote and support schemes where such people may receive training for their employment
To relieve poverty among poor and disadvantaged people by providing advice and counsel
To promote equal opportunities measures and practices
To provide training and guidance to all employees to ensure the ABS Academy and Orphanage’s commitment to equal opportunities and the children’s welfare
To continually review all systems and procedures in the provision of services
To ensure equality of opportunities, responsibility, sensibility, safe-guarding, and accessibility
To encourage local people and the community at large to openly voice their opinions on services provided and stimulate their participation in. the development of decisions
To constantly monitor its own performances against policy objectives

At present, there is an orphanage and academic institution that we are running in the village of Bajithpur, District Sylhet in Bangladesh since 2012. We are catering for 100 residential orphaned children in the institution. We are providing their accommodation, food, clothes, medicine, daily tuition by appointing four qualified teachers, and all other necessary resources. We have a cook who is providing three meals for the children daily.

Since the establishment of the orphanage, the number of children we are providing for are growing day by day, and therefore we have expanded the academy’s facilities by constructing a new building alongside the old building, which has cost us nearly £30,000 to complete. The interior and decorating of the building has not been completed as of yet, we intend to complete it within the next year. We are teaching the students Maths, Science, English, Bangla, History, ICT, Religious Studies, and Vocational Training Courses, according to the national curriculum of Bangladesh, up until secondary school level. Last year, 10 children completed their studies and were admitted into the local college to complete further education while remaining in the orphanage.

The orphanage and academy is registered to the relevant departments of the Bangladesh government. We have a management committee comprising of members from various disciplines in order to run the project in Bangladesh. We have organised successful training sessions for these members to ensure that the project is running effectively and that they are executing their duties accordingly. We have also organised advice sessions for the parents of students enrolled in our academy, to assist and help solve their queries or problems. We ran a public meeting to educate parents about the importance of girls’ education. Causes of underachievement amongst students, including lack of parental support, were subjects of the meeting. We held two Eid parties and an Iftar party for the parents of students and the local community.

Finally, I would like to thank all our funders, management committee members, trustees, staff, and volunteers for their help and support to make last year a successful one.
