About Us

A story of love, legacy, and two decades of giving back to the community.

মানুষের কল্যাণে, মানবতার সেবায়, সব সময়

"For the welfare of people, in the service of humanity, always."

Over ৳10 crore invested by the founding family since 2005. Now open to community participation for the first time.

A Son's Tribute. A Community's Gain.

In 2005, Md Monir Hossain started this foundation in memory of his late father, Siraj Mia. The goal was simple: give back to the community in a structured, meaningful way.

Siraj Mia was a man who believed deeply in community, in hospitality, and in the quiet dignity of helping others without expectation. His son wanted to keep that spirit alive, not just in memory but in action.

What began as a personal act of remembrance has grown into a foundation with four active programs, tens of thousands of meals served, and a community that has come to rely on and celebrate SMMF's work year after year.

Two Decades of Service

A timeline of key milestones since our founding.

2005

Foundation Established

Md Monir Hossain founds the Siraj Mia Memorial Foundation in Dhaka in memory of his late father Siraj Mia, with a mission to give back to the community in a structured way.

2005

Siraj Mia Memorial Model School Established

The foundation invests ৳4 crore building the Siraj Mia Memorial Model School in Badda, Dhaka. It now employs 100 staff and educates 1,250 students. For 7 years straight it has held 1st position in SSC results across Badda thana.

2020

Covid-19 Emergency Relief

The foundation spends ৳2 crore responding to the pandemic — distributing 10,000 surgical masks, hundreds of tonnes of rice and essentials to over 6,000 families across Dhaka. An anonymous drop-box system was set up at the school for middle-class families too proud to ask publicly.

2022

Sylhet Flood Relief

When devastating flash floods submerged nearly 70% of Sunamganj in July 2022, SMMF mobilised within hours and reached 1,200 families in remote flood-affected areas of Sylhet and Sunamganj before official relief convoys arrived.

Our Values

🤝

Community First

Every decision comes back to one question: what is best for the people we serve. The community is not a beneficiary. They are the reason we exist.

📋

Structured Giving

From the beginning, our mission has been to give back in a structured way, with accountability and clear impact.

🕌

Rooted in Tradition

Our programs are grounded in the values of hospitality, generosity, and faith that defined Siraj Mia's life and continue to define our foundation.

📈

Long-Term Commitment

Twenty years, entirely self-funded, without stopping. We ran every program because people depend on us — and we are now inviting the community to join us for the first time.
