Chaieman - Muslim Aid Bangladesh

Muslim Aid Bangladesh (MAB) has been striving to implement the Islamic Microfinance since 1993 throughout Bangladesh in a view to play vital role to reduce extreme poverty and promote the Islamic Financial Systems. Through years of implementing microfinance program, Muslim Aid Bangladesh has acquired some valuable experience and the confidence to plan for expansion of the program as one of the major vehicles to alleviate poverty that might be a good idea at this moment to share with greater audience.

Muslim Aid Bangladesh (MAB) has been playing important role in socio-economic development of Bangladesh and I feel honored and privileged to be the part of this noble work. The program has been proved to be successful in empowering the disadvantaged by enhancing their income. Unlike, the traditional micro-credit program, MAB- microfinance program charges no interest on the capital investment and thus, the clients find it much convenient and comfortable. The in-built training segment creates employment opportunities, while the health segment protects the health of the poor mothers and the children.

Despite many successes and achievements in 2025, yet there are challenges to be faced. We have more initiatives to undertake achieving the SDGs and Vision 2041. While the government is trying continuously, we can also excel our complementary roles. We are trying our level-best to reach out thousands of marginalized people – who we are committed to serve. In spite of this fact, we attach importance to social mission in contributing to poverty eradication which is at the deepest theme of our organizational strategy. By passing every single day, we are in the routes to strengthening our financial governance, accountability and precision. Our clients are at the topmost in our mind and action, we listen to them deliberately, afford them access to information they ask for and propose our service in accordance with growing needs. All our activities are geared to empower our clients for their amplified wellbeing.

The Islamic Sharia based micro finance program of MAB is the first of its kind in Bangladesh which has received overwhelming acceptance by the community. The distinct features of the program have generated very positive responses from our clients. The program has also received recognition from regulatory authorities and accreditation bodies of the government. It is worthy to mention that in 2025, MAB has achieved “A” category in Credit Rating performance.

I would finally, like to thank our valued stakeholders, colleagues and professional staff members particularly MRA, CDF, Social Welfare Ministry, IsDB and different commercial banks who have contributed us to grow and sustain the trend of our growth.

I look forward to achieving exponential success of MAB to attain the shape of an ideal NGO with multi-disciplinary programs, agenda and activities in the year to come- Insha Allah!
