Where a Community Leads its Own Destiny I Mamoon Akhtar in conversation with Naghma Mulla IEDGE 2019

Samaritan Help Mission is a community-based organisation founded by Mamoon Akhtar. Reiterating the need for unrepresented voices of communities to be brought to the forefront, Mamoon Bhai spoke to our COO, Naghma Mulla, on his mission to transform Tikiapara (West Bengal) and the entire community.

He has worked tirelessly to enable a grassroots movement towards ensuring every child in his community has access to quality education. He started a school with 6 children which has now grown to 6000 children. Through his remarkable organisation, he is changing the outlook for an entire area in West Bengal, bringing overall development to all the children, especially girls, living in the slums. Mamoon Bhai’s story is a brilliant testimony to the fact that one strong resolve is enough to open-up a world of opportunities for people bereft of them.
