PHP Family donates Tk1cr to Ctg Kidney Foundation

PHP Family, one of the largest industrial conglomerates in the country, has donated one Tk 1 crore to the Chattogram Kidney Foundation for the establishment of a specialised hospital for patients in Chattogram.

PHP Family Chairman Sufi Mohammed Mizanur Rahman, an awardee of Ekushey Padak for social services, handed over the cheque to the foundation authorities at the PHP House in Khulshi in the city on Tuesday.

On behalf of Chattogram Kidney Foundation, Amir Humayun Mahmud Chowdhury, Dr Moinul Islam Mahmud, Engineer Mohammad Ali, Dr Imran bin Yusuf, Dr Abul Kashem, and Daily Azadi Editor MA Malek were present on the occasion.

Besides, Director Mohammed Ali Hossain, Mohammed Zahirul Islam and Mohammed Akhter Parvez attended the ceremony on behalf of the PHP Family. Maulana Kazi Moinuddin Ashrafi led a prayer on the occasion.

Addressing the event, Sufi Mohammed Mizanur Rahman said, “I am a very ordinary person. I came to Chattogram with Tk 100. All that I have now is God’s gift. I am still worth Tk 100. I tried to raise my children in that humble way.

“During their childhood, when guests visited our house, the guest would usually mess up the shoes left outside the door when leaving. I would ask my sons to clean and organise the shoes. Today, I thank Allah for giving me such a blessing.”

This industrialist, who lives a simple life of Sufi philosophy, also said, “I still wear Tk 1,100 clothes. I wear Tk 800 shoes. I think the more one spends on the people, the more Allah will provide for him. Please accept this small donation for the Kidney Foundation from me and my children. We will do more together, Inshallah.”

Daily Azadi Editor MA Malek, said, “God has sent a man like Sufi Mizanur Rahman to us and made many tasks easier. He does not keep the wealth to himself. Many people on Chattogram have a lot of money.

“But not everyone has the mentality to donate to the service of people as we see in Sufi Mizan. He thinks that helping distressed people is like praying. He always works for the welfare of people and stays by his side.”
