LIVE FROM OUR COMMUNITY
THE ISLAND
River, forest and open sky — the island our members come from.
The island sits where the Meghna widens into the Bay of Bengal.
Rice, coconut and betel nut grow across the island's interior.
Hilsa fishing and farming are the island's two livelihoods.
Homesteads shaded by coconut palms, rebuilt after every erosion.

HOW HCFD HELPS
We help students from Hatiya arrive, learn and build a life in Dhaka without starting alone.
New students meet people who know the journey, the city and the questions they are carrying.
Admission support, mentoring and scholarships connect students with their next opportunity.
A trusted student and alumni network responds to urgent blood requests and community needs.
LEADERSHIP
The students currently leading the forum.
Teachers, doctors and alumni on the forum's work.
The first few months in Dhaka are the hardest for any student coming from Hatiya. HCFD stands beside them in exactly that window — I can think of little that matters more.

Retired Principal, Hatiya Dwip Government College
When we call about an urgent blood requirement, HCFD's volunteers answer quickly. For our patients that network is a genuine safety net.
Dr. Shirin Akter
Medical Officer, Hatiya Upazila Health Complex
When I came to Dhaka in the nineties there was no such organisation. That today's students have this support is a real gain for our island.

Alumnus and well-wisher, Dhaka
Staying outside politics and working purely for student welfare is not easy. HCFD has held that line, and that is precisely why it has everyone's trust.
