About me

My story

I was born in the village of Kalijuri within Biswanath Upazila in Sylhet, Bangladesh. At the age of three I moved with my family to Agpara, Mirabazar in Sylhet Town. I studied my SSC at the Government Pilot High School, Sylhet, completed my Intermediate Certificate at Madan Mohon College, and my BA degree at MC College, Sylhet.

I moved to the UK in 1989 and settled in Hyde within Tameside, Greater Manchester, where I started my own businesses — and went on to build a life across journalism, charity and community work.

“Just help — wherever you are, whatever you have.”

The Just Help Foundation has been running since 2007, supporting many people in Bangladesh — from free eye camps to winter blanket distribution.
