My Child Trust concept was developed by Mr. Mohammed Shaminul Islam who is an Entrepreneur. He was researching on Orphans and Homeless children in Bangladesh and what he found had moved him so much that he was compelled to do something to help these innocent children.
Mr. Islam also became very aware that most charities failed due to lack of funding from donors. This concerned him gravely as he did not want to set up a place for these children and not be able to manage it in the long term.
After a lot of discussion and deliberation, he came up with a very Innovative Idea which would allow this institution to stay open without any funding issues. He decided it would not be a charity like all others as he felt these children should not be labelled.
He put together a dedicated team with different skill set to help him develop the funding model which would allow the Trust to function and sustain itself without relying on donations. Mr. Islam decided he would get like-minded entrepreneurs to come aboard and pledge a percentage of the ownership of the companies they are stakeholders of.
Out of this concept My Child Trust was born.
