Obat Helpers USA

Obat Helpers USA In 2004, OBAT started serving an unfortunate and forgotten group of people, commonly known as Bihari or Urdu Speaking (formerly known as stranded Pakistanis).

OBAT Helpers is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit empowering marginalized and displaced communities in Bangladesh through education, healthcare, WASH, livelihoods, youth development, and emergency relief. OBAT Helpers is a US based 501(C) (3), non-profit organization committed to providing aid, support, education, and economic empowerment to displaced, stranded and refugee populations residing in c

amps in Bangladesh. Over 300,000 of them are living in 116 makeshift camps in 13 different cities throughout Bangladesh since 1971. More than three generations of this community continue to live in 8 ft. x 10 ft. spaces in abject poverty, with no access to basic amenities. They face a severe lack of education, healthcare and income earning opportunities. OBAT Helpers has been instrumental in providing opportunities for growth and transformation to this community through the areas of education, health, infrastructure development, empowerment and relief. Since September 2017, OBAT has also been in the forefront of serving Rohingya refugees after the crises erupted in August 2017. The Rohingya escaped from persecution and genocide in Myanmar to seek protection in Bangladesh. With the crisis unfolding at the doorstep of OBAT’s projects, the organization made a strategic decision to provide humanitarian assistance in the immediate aftermath and apply solutions and lessons learned from the Urdu-speaking camps to help the recently displaced individuals. OBAT’s current relief strategy in the Rohingya camps addresses the medical, educational, nutritional and emergency needs of the refugees. OBAT also provides empowerment opportunities to Rohingya women by training them to sew. Since 2004...

· 27,196 students have graduated from OBAT's educational projects for internally displaced camp communities

· Nearly 900 students are enrolled annually in Learning Centers for Rohingya refugees

· Over 3,000 people have been empowered from OBAT's sewing centers and livelihood programs

· 329,720 patients have been treated at OBAT's health clinics

· Approx. 150,000 people have benefited from OBAT's clean water and sanitation projects

· 604,895 people have been aided by OBAT's family assistance and qurbani programs

You can help protect mothers and babies today.

Through the maternity project, OBAT provides support for medical check-ups, doctor consultations, and delivery expenses, helping mothers experience safe and dignified childbirth. To date, 99 families have been supported with safe and successful deliveries.

We had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Athar Osama, Science Policymaker, to OBAT Helpers as he visited our ongoing projects and initiatives.

His visit began at OBAT ZBM English School, where he observed the learning environment, interacted with students, and explored the Khan Academy Lab classes, gaining valuable insights into how digital learning is enhancing educational opportunities.

Dr. Athar then visited Geneva Camp, where he witnessed OBAT’s work on the ground. He explored water points, met scholarship students, visited student housing, and spent time with family assistance beneficiaries, learning more about their daily lives and the impact of OBAT’s support.

The visit continued at the OBAT office, followed by an engaging session at OBAT ZBM English School, where he met with high school scholarship students, as well as university, IT, and diploma students. These meaningful conversations highlighted students’ aspirations and the importance of continued educational support.

We are grateful for Dr. Athar Osama’s visit and his interest in OBAT’s mission and impact.

This Friday at ADAMS, during the Khutba, something powerful happened.

The sermon highlighted the importance of OBAT Helpers work in Bangladesh as part of the message.

Beyond the Khutba, we were grateful to also have a space where community members could learn more about OBAT’s work, our ongoing projects, the impact being made on the ground, and our upcoming Qurbani campaign. It was a meaningful opportunity to connect, share, and invite others to be part of this mission.

To have this work uplifted in such a sacred space is a reminder: giving isn’t just charity, it’s a responsibility.

Let’s carry that message forward.

On April 2nd, 2026, OBAT organized a teachers meeting at OBAT Junior School, bringing together our educators for a meaningful and reflective session focused on strengthening classroom practices.

The discussion centered on improving class management techniques, with special emphasis on the effective use of writing books, drawing books, and copies. Our teachers shared real classroom experiences, challenges, and practical solutions, creating an open environment where everyone could learn from one another.

We were honored to receive valuable guidance from Mosarrat Khatun Nipa, a senior teacher from Khalishpur, Khulna. Her insightful suggestions offered clear direction for enhancing teaching methods and fostering more engaging learning environments.

These collaborative sessions are vital in building a strong, supportive teaching community while continuously improving the quality of education we provide.

Thank you to our dedicated team for growing, learning, and inspiring together.
