I'm Md. Shahin. I have joined "Pathway" 2014 as an Executive Director. From the very beginning of the Joining pathway, I'm trying my best to uplift the image of "pathway" by hard work, passion, honesty, conscience, and steadiness from the last three consecutive sessions. The one & only aim of mine working with "pathway " is to do something good & wellbeing for mankind, humanity. To eradicate poverty, unemployment & uplift the socio-economic status of the third gender is basic concentration. I know how horrible it is to live with starvation because I was belonging to a lower-middle-class family. I tried my best and gave a lot of effort, hard work to reach this position. At that time, I promised myself that, "if I could make my life sustainable then I will definitely do something for this poor, unprivileged population"." Pathway " has given me the opportunity to do for humanity. So we ( I & Pathway) will try heart and soul to make the socio-economic change of unprivileged, poor population. Because we believe, " overall development of a country depends on the development of every single soul of a country".
I was honored to serve as the Chairman of PATHWAY, one of the largest Non-Governmental Organizations in Bangladesh. PATHWAY represents my lifelong dream of creating a better future for the underprivileged and achieving sustainable development goals for society as a whole. As a third-world country, a lot of shortcomings, social stigmas, and prejudices exist in our society. These are prevalent in rural areas. I hope that we can collectively contribute towards significant development in the country. PATHWAY has extended its activities all over the country, working in Health, Education, VGD, Third Gender, Anti-drug Activities, Maternal Allowance, EPI, Free Driving Training, Computer Training, Sewing Training for the needy free of cost. We also conduct an annual survey on different parts of the country to keep apprised of the current situations regarding health, education, nutrition, and other basic needs of the underprivileged.
We have made significant progress, but we still have a long way to go. Our confidence and inspiration rest in the integrity of what we do and more importantly in the growing public support at large, for which it is our mandated responsibility to catalyze change. Moving forward, we would sincerely welcome your ideas, critiques, and suggestions to strengthen our journey ahead.
