Mosharraf Hossain Khan Chowdhury, originally from Dhanyadaul village in Brahmanpara, Comilla, has established six educational institutions in his home area using earnings from his work as a taxi driver in New York. After losing his father before completing secondary school, he went abroad to support his family, first to Qatar and later to the United States. Over three decades, he invested most of his income in building two colleges, a high school, two madrasas, and a kindergarten, along with two libraries and land for a diabetic hospital.
His first school, founded in 1989, now serves around a thousand students and employs 24 staff. Later, he established Mosharraf Hossain Khan Chowdhury University College, Abdul Matin Khasru Women’s College, and other institutions that now educate thousands. He also created a foundation providing scholarships to 200 students and homes for 10 homeless families. Despite his success, Mosharraf continues to live modestly in a shared apartment in New York, sending his earnings home to support education.
At 62, he is pursuing a bachelor’s degree under the Open University system and remains committed to spreading education across his community.
