Activities
edit
The organization is actively engaged in various projects, aimed at improving the quality of life of people. These initiatives include water supply, food for all, tube wells, Ramadan, Eid al-Adha, support for Rohingya refugees, and mosque construction.[3][7] According to Al Manahil, they have built more than 3,000 shelters, installed over 200,000 tube wells, and constructed 50 mosques, benefiting approximately 10 million individuals.[8] The Bibirhat Central Jame Mosque, which was built at a cost of 100 million taka, is a particularly impressive accomplishment.[9]
With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization stepped up to the challenge of burying those who passed away due to the virus. In addition to this, they also established an 80-bed isolation center in Chittagong to provide medical care to COVID-19 patients.[10] Their efforts have been commendable, with more than 3,000 individuals having received funeral services and shrouds over the course of one year. They have also operated a hospital, ensuring that those who needed medical attention received the care they required.[3]
Al Manahil Nurture General Hospital
editThe hospital is situated in the FoylaTali Bazar of Halishahar in Chittagong and was built on a donated piece of land. In addition to treating nearly seven hundred COVID-19 patients, the hospital has extended ambulance services to hundreds of other COVID-19 patients, ferrying them to various healthcare facilities.[11][12]
