About Us
Bangladesh American foundation, (BAFOCF) is a non-profit, non-political social organization. It was established in 2001 to cherish, promote and share the ideals and rich cultural heritage of Bangladesh. It was the natural progression of the Bangladeshi community in central Florida. BAFOCF and its members work diligently to keep the ideals vigilant among all of us, young and old! BAFOCF also helps establish forums for the welfare of the community by exchanging ideas between the members and the people in and around our community. It is not only an event-based organization but also a support-based organization that takes an active role in assisting people and the community when needed. Over the years BAFOCF organized cultural events and commemorative functions, as well as fundraising activities to help victims of natural disasters in Bangladesh and Central Florida.
BAFOCF now looking for land in Orlando and is in the process of building the Bangladesh-American center (BAC), a piece of Bangladesh—a home away from home! With that future in mind, BAFOCF is making this important commitment in the areas of diversity, volunteer development, technology, and communications to help align the association’s goals and to ensure that BAC and BAFOCF become a vital and vibrant part of the city of ours, we call home Central Florida.
BAFOCF activities include working with local authorities, to develop closer working ties and share information on opportunities and resources available in central Florida or various communities. BAFOCF serves as a liaison between our community and various local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, like the FBI, HPD, Airport Security, etc., and discusses issues and concerns to find solutions that relate to our community. These interactions provide us a forum to discuss community concerns and work towards greater understanding. BAFOCF will provide free medical services to the community members. Supports educational seminars, provides immigration services, offers mobile consular services, and provides counseling for men and women. BAFOCF promises to keep the FOUNDATION sound today while keep working to make the community united and stronger for the future. We have profound respect for the community’s support and we thank our community and its members for their support. We can make it better by working together to keep our heritage and culture alive.
