Youth movements around the world are extensive, organized phenomena. These movements provide opportunities for youth, of any age, to put their feelings and ideals into action; to make an impact on the world around them by helping others and their nation and to form connections with other young people around the globe whose ideals match or build upon their own. Historically, youth movements have pl
ayed a monumental role in shaping the face of many civilizations.
Due to the lack of a proper platforms, young people of our country have rarely had the opportunity to raise their voice and commit to the welfare of the society in a non-political manner.

What if someone provided you with that platform? Would you care to speak up? The ideas that you have cherished for years; the dreams of yours that you believe could alter the face of our nation; the burning desire to bring forth positive change_ what if a stage is built where you could exercise all of these? Won’t you be a part of it?

Get ready to paint your imagination of a better Bangladesh. The youth movement you have been waiting for is knocking on the door…

President Physically-challanged Developement Foundation

Mizan was born in Sirajganj in 1987 and lived in Rajshahi in his adolescence. In 2009, he graduated from Jahangirnagar University (JU) in Savar with a B.A. in History. He continued his studentship at JU and received an M.A. in History (South Asia) on 2010. He is currently studying as a postgraduate in Business Administration in JU.


Mizan was introduced into the world of volunteering from his early life but more actively in 2007 when joining the JU Branch of the Leo Club, a society promoting community service. While he is a continuing member of the Club, he was inspired to expand his passion towards society welfare by the Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP) in Savar, located not very far from the university campus. Under the mentoring of CRP’s founder and coordinator Sister Valerie Taylor, who has recently been awarded with an honorary doctorate degree in Health Sciences from York St. John University, Mizan founded the Physically-challenged Development Foundation (PDF) in 2008.

While having served as a volunteer for numerous social causes, the empowerment of persons with disabilities takes antecedence in Mizan’s professional life and identifies the path of his career. While establishing PDF throughout different institutions in the country, Mizan has worked as a Volunteer of Advocacy and Networking in CRP for two years. In 2011, he was promoted to Advocacy and Networking Officer in this leading rehabilitation and training centre for disabled persons in Bangladesh. Within the past four years, Mizan has worked earnestly to transform PDF from a minuscule 4-students university society into a nationwide body of talented young civil workers.

Mizan has a feasibly ambitious vision of promoting international human rights and peace movement. Social works – with concentrated involvement of the youth for ensuring the peace and security of people and eradication of corruption – shall always be a major concern for him. He ultimately aspires to work for an equal world by creating awareness about the disabled people and their rights.

President The Human Aid Foundation Bangladesh


Sharon Rahman, the founder president of The Human Aid Foundation Bangladesh was born in Scotland and brought up in Canada. He came to Bangladesh with his family a few years back. He will be soon joining Harvard University for higher education, which includes major in French Literature and minor in Business.
He believes that youth have the potential and tendency to improve and change society and that's the main reason for The Human Aid Foundation to be established. At least to change a % of the society so that others will be inspired. It's not about the change in society but it's about changing towards our perception and Human Aid Foundation will hopefully be successful to be the base of this transformation.
