Parvez Hasan started Sohomormita Foundation in 2018 to restore the basic rights and fulfill the basic needs of UNDERPRIVILEGED families across Bangladesh. The idea came to him when he saw two kids trying to comfort their mother, who was too tired and drained due to the scorching heat in the busy street of Sobhanbagh, Dhanmondi. Belonging to a low-income family himself, Parvez has seen and lived a similar life to those children.

"I saw two young kids nursing their mother with just one small bottle of water, while I was returning home, after running some ERRANDS. Inadequate water supply is one of the major CHALLENGES in Dhaka, but this did not stop them from trying to help their mother," shares Parvez. "They were pouring the water over their mother's head, using a small plastic bowl." Parvez decided to help out this family and that night, he posted their PHOTO on his Facebook profile, which was widely shared. Many reached out to him, and the next day, he came BACK to Dhanmondi to find out more about the mother and the kids. "They were a family from Kurigram who had lost their house. The father was a heart patient and his treatment cost them a fortune," explains Parvez. "Later, the DC of Kurigram contacted me and in a collaborative effort, we bought the family an easy bike and restored their house. The children now go to school."
