In my past blogs, I have written about  Honest and Pay it Forward Bangladesh which are two eminent social organizations working for the betterment of the society by constantly standing by the helpless and underprivileged people of the society. Today, lets take a look at the man behind all these great things.

Badal Syed is a man who dreams big. He dreams of a better and peaceful society. In spite of being such a dynamic and solvent person, he thinks about the helpless, needy and the destitute people all over the country. He finds happiness in helping these people. He gets peace of mind by ensuring education for students dropping out due to financial instability.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE - 4

So I’m down to write a series of 5 blogs on some Social organizations and people of pure soul from my hometown Chittagong, Bangladesh who have been relentlessly working to make a change. And today, here’s the fourth one.

PAY IT FORWARD, BANGLADESH (PIFB)

PAY IT FORWARD, BANGLADESH (PIFB) is mainly a social organization that works for the helpless or underprivileged students of the country but in a different way. As the name suggests, members of this group help out others not expecting any return but at a condition that the help seeker will someday help someone else once he/she gets stable.

The journey of PAY IT FORWARD, BANGLADESH started back in 2016 through Facebook. PIFB arose from an idea “pay it forward ” by the famous American polymath Benjamin Franklin. It was found by a famous social activist of Bangladesh Mr. Syed Muhammad Abu Daud popularly known as Badal Syed.

In Bangladesh, there are huge number of dropouts who gives up studies due to financial crisis. PIFB is basically a platform for those probable dropouts which connects them to people willing to help them overcome the situation. Since its a Facebook based organization, students facing financial difficulties post in the Facebook group with relevant certificates and documents. Then the members verify those through the relevant authorities. Afterwards, anyone can come forward to help that student once or can patronize him for a longer period.

The motto of this Facebook group is once the recipients become stable and established in their own fields they must help some one else in a similar way. “This chain of helping out each other will bring big changes in society,” Badal said.

Today there’s about 30000 members in the PAY IT FORWARD, BANGLADESH group and it is increasing daily. Till date over 600 of students are studying through this platform. Though most of these students are from different Universities, PIFB stands by students from schools and colleges as well.
