MASTUL Foundation is working to educate underprivileged children, provide food relief and health services to distressed community people, and plays a crucial humane role in times of natural disasters. MASTUL, established in 2012, is serving underprivileged people by utilizing the youth spirit of volunteerism. MASTUL aspires to see a children-friendly Bangladesh by ensuring their rights of access to education, health service, and above all, safety from the injustice of society. MASTUL envisages a happy and healthy Bangladesh for children where their rights are protected. Cricketer Shakib Al Hasan acts as their Honorary Advisor. Since its inception, about eleven hundred needy and poor students from twenty-two schools received educational materials as donations. Besides, it is working to ensure children’s rights and basic needs. MASTUL also has an orphanage that is home to more than fifty-five children. It also has a sewing training center, for lower-income women to make them more self-reliant. Apart from this, it also assisted three hundred and fifty people in employment and skill development programs. In addition, it contributes to health care, blood donation, and tree plantation projects. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Mastul Foundation came forward to volunteer for the burial of the dead bodies which received huge appreciation as it was the most dangerous initiative of that time. In the beginning, it was stressful to arrange volunteers, ambulances, and burial ceremonies due to fear of contamination. Washing the dead bodies was also a challenge. Despite numerous challenges, they stood beside the families of affected people. They completed the burial of more than five hundred and ten Covid-19 infected dead bodies along with providing free ambulance service to three hundred and seventy and oxygen service to seven hundred people. During the pandemic induced lockdown, the organization volunteered in the distribution of relief to seventeen thousand people, twenty-three thousand packets of food supplies, and iftars among eleven thousand underprivileged people.
