SYED NURUDDIN AHMED DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION
Activities Overview of
Syed Nuruddin Ahmed Development Foundation

Background
Established in 2008 with an aim to make a difference in the lives of underprivileged women,
children and youth. SNADF was founded by Mr. Syed Nuruddin Ahmed who believes that it
is the duty of a responsible corporate citizen to help others. But more importantly SNADF
understands that patients in the developing world often have limited access to specialized
health care which is why SNADF is wishing to extend cleft lip and palate surgeries to poor
patients totally free of cost.

Inauguration Ceremony:

Contribution
 SNADF has distributed 6000 blankets every year to the poor in Barisal,
Dinajpur and Bogra.
 Built a school in Barisal for 100 students providing free education to all.
 Helped burn victims receive full body treatment for free and empowered
women by donating sewing machines, helping arrange marriages and
providing financial support.
 SNADF carry the cost of operation of five poor child having cleft lip and
palate with the sponsor of British Women Association (BWA), Dhaka,
Bangladesh.

 SNADF with help and support of Smile Train, Dr. Syed Shamsuddin Ahmed
has already helped more than 2,100 cleft lip (up to March 2015) and palate
sufferers have surgical treatment, having the lives of children positively
changed forever.
 SNADF has provided support to 9 adults and children with disabilities
who reside in some of the char villages of Gaibandha district. These cases
have been identified by one of the partner organizations of the Chars
Livelihoods Programme, Gono Unnayon Sangstha, Gaibandha. The nine
people have received two wheel chairs, two tricycles, one set of auxiliary
crutches and one special chair for a person with cerebral palsy.

SNAD Foundation improves lives of chars people
 Syed Nuruddin Ahmed, Managing Director of Maxwell Stamp in
Bangladesh, is working with sufferers of cleft lip and palate
through his work with the Syed Nuruddin Ahmed Development
(SNAD) Foundation. The SNAD Foundation works to improve the
lives of underprivileged woman, children and youth who suffer
from cleft lip and palate, using surgery to improve their facial
features.
 Cleft lip and palate are abnormal facial developments that
occur during development in the womb. The causes are complex,
which includes genetics, environmental influences such as poor
maternal diet, as well as vitamin intake. Approximately one in 800
children is born with this condition in Bangladesh.

 The solution is nothing but just a simple operation that takes
40 minutes only. Most hospitals in Bangladesh have the capacity
to do the operation. However, it is difficult for poor households
to afford the cost of this operation which needs about Tk-40000
(about £320).

Eye camp, Improving the sight of people
 The Syed Nuruddin Ahmed Development Foundation
(SNADF), in collaboration with the Glaucoma Research and Eye
Hospital, recently conducted its first free eye camp to improve
the sight of people living on the chars, in North West
Bangladesh.
 CLP were fortunate to be involved in the first of SNADF’s eye
camps. The camp was held on 19 August 2014 at the Glaucoma
Research and Eye Hospital in Dhaka; a project of the Bangladesh
Eye Care Society.

local and foreign donors.

disfigured and disabled due to complication of burn. They
have not enough fund to treat themselves. If we can manage
funding then we will be able to help them by providing free
treatment.

SNADF plans on opening more schools and build hospitals
for the deprived, and inspire others to make a difference in
the lives of the poor.
 SNAD plans to provide financial aid to the poor in different
times in order to enhance the economic capability of the
poor. Moreover SNAD plans to patronize new entrepreneurs
to boost up the economy of the country.
 SNAD plans to arrange vocational Training to develop the
skill of unemployed people in Bangladesh.
SNAD plans to focus is to empower children in Bangladesh
by giving them the chance to go to school & giving their
families the wherewithal to keep them there.
Future Plan:

NOBODY CAN DO EVERYTHING,

SOMETHING.
