The Anisa Foundation is a registered charity based in Gaibandha, Bangladesh. We help our community access life-changing—and sometimes life-saving—care and support.
Gaibandha is one of Bangladesh’s poorest districts. So many people here suffer because they can’t afford to access critical resources, from education to medical care
When you see pain all around you, you can’t help but want to make a difference if you can. The Anisa Foundation is that difference.
When floods and other natural disasters hit Gaibandha, we’re there to help. We provide food, blankets, and financial support to get people through the hardest times.
So many students can’t afford education that can change their lives. We offer scholarships to support education and career development.
Quality medical care is expensive and difficult for many to access. We offer access to life-saving medical care, so no one has to suffer from an illness that could be easily treated.
We believe in bringing people together in times of celebration, not just times of crisis. This is how we can create real change, long-term.
Because our roots are in the community we serve, we’re able to help, exactly when and where it’s needed most.
The Anisa Foundation is a project of the Anisa Kabir family.
The foundation started as a small project—a way to give back as our family built Path, a photo editing business with operations based in Gaibandha, Bangladesh.
We began with a pledge to dedicate 5% of company revenue to charitable contributions, and have since put over $1,000,000 into our work in Gaibandha.
In 2024 our dreams got even bigger. We formed the Anisa Foundation with a vision of a thriving Gaibandha where everyone has access to the resources they need for a good life.
The Anisa Foundation is named after our family’s matriarch, Anisa Khatun.
She has been at the heart of our community work since the beginning—always leading our efforts with a deep sense of compassion and love.
The name Anisa can also be translated as “faithful companion,” “one who is friendly and gentle with others,” and “one whose presence brings calm and peace.” We think it’s the perfect evocation of our way of working, as well as a way to honour the woman who has done so much for our family and our community.
Want to be part of leading the transformation of Gaibandha and our people? We’d love your support. Contact us to learn more about how you can help most right now.
