History

ASHIC Foundation is a beacon of hope that arose from tremendous tragedy for the Choudhury family. The organization was founded in 1994 after the Choudhurys lost their son, Ashiq, to a rare form of cancer when he was only three years old. After his untimely demise, the family wanted to do something meaningful in the field of childhood cancer and hence the beginning of ASHIC, A Shelter for Helpless Ill Children.

During Ashiq’s yearlong treatment at the Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, his mother, Salma, experienced the activities of benevolent societies devoted to appeasing the plight of cancer-affected children and their families. She was deeply inspired by these charities, and felt compelled to share the benefits with the children in Bangladesh. Salma and her family transformed these thoughts into reality by launching ASHIC’s first program – a counseling program called “Somobyathi”. After ten years, ASHIC has been able to serve more than 8,000 children across the country and continues to grow the family.
