The International Foundation for Child/Woman, initiated in January, 2006 in Uttara – Dhaka, Bangladesh.

The Janina Gora Foundation is an International voluntary organization that supports children and women in poverty stricken Bangladesh. It was founded in January, 2006 by Jolanta Dorota Gora (now living in NYC, USA) and M M Rahman Maqsood (now living in Dhaka, Bangladesh). JGF is a small nongovernmental, nonprofit, charitable organization created to fight hunger and poverty in Bangladesh. We are empowering local communities by helping to raise the levels of education and literacy of impoverished children and women. In March 2007, JFG members and volunteers began charitable activities helping to distribute fresh drinking water and food to children and woman in the poorest areas of Dhaka (see recent activities our photo gallery).
