Plans for new School and Orphanage build
Building Futures for Orphaned and Vulnerable Children
In 2018, Al-Zahoor Welfare Foundation (AZWF) established a charitable presence in Bangladesh alongside the launch of a School and Orphanage project known as Al-Zahoor Academy. The Academy was founded to provide education, care, and long-term life opportunities for some of the most vulnerable children in the region.
AZWF fully supports each boarding student, covering all living and educational costs, including:
- Education and school fees
- Books and stationery
- Nutritious meals
- Clothing
- Medical care and medicines
- Pocket money
- Safe boarding and supervision
Phase 1 – Completed
The project began by repurposing and extending the family’s original residential property, which now functions as a co-educational school serving approximately 100 students.
This includes:
- 41 boarding students
- Day students from the local community
Phase 1 laid the foundation for our long-term vision and demonstrated the immediate impact of structured education and care.
Phase 2 – In Progress (Estimated Completion: Q1 2027)
AZWF has now embarked on Phase 2 of the project: the construction of a purpose-built Al-Zahoor Academy to significantly expand capacity and improve facilities.
The estimated cost of Phase 2 is £600,000.
The new Academy will:
- Operate as a fully functional boys’ school, while the existing building will continue as a girls’ school
- Provide a combined total of approximately 22,500 sq ft of educational and residential space
- Increase boarding capacity to 300 children
- Accommodate up to 150 day students
Planned Facilities Include:
- 11 classrooms
- Library
- Computer laboratory
- Science laboratories
- School administration office
- Accommodation for 8 teachers
- Fitness and leisure facilities

3D Plan of completed Phase 3
Phase 1 (2018-2020) – COMPLETE
Al-Zahoor Welfare Foundation (AZWF) main family building repurposed to provide initial accommodation quarters for boys academy. Currently, the existing facilities provide accommodation to the girls on the 1st floor and boys on the ground floor on a separate building. However this restricts us to a maximum of only 98 children at the Al-Zahoor Academy, resulting in many children being on our waiting list.
