Hafidh Kawsarul Chowdhury

As the Founder and Director of Operations at Mawhub Foundation, I bring over 15 years of experience working across a variety of sectors. My professional journey began in the education sector, where I worked in a number of roles supporting children and young people. During this time, I was also involved in helping to establish and help manage a UK-based Islamic institute, contributing to its development and organisational growth.In 2009, I was blessed to complete the memorisation of the Holy Qur’an (Hifdh), an achievement that has shaped my values and commitment to serving the community and has remained an important part of both my personal and professional journey. Alongside this, I hold a BA in Childhood Studies, which has strengthened my understanding of child development and education.My passion has always been working with children. Over time, this passion naturally developed into a deeper commitment to supporting children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Through my work with multiple charitable organisations, I believe I have helped shape and strengthen the services they provide to their communities.More recently, I have worked in Project Management, supporting and delivering complex projects aimed at building capacity and strengthening organisations from within.Through my experiences, I became increasingly aware of the lack of support and accessible services available for the SEND community. It was this gap that inspired the establishment of Mawhub Foundation. Our aim is to address these challenges by creating meaningful opportunities and support systems for children and families who often struggle to find the help they need.
