Trials & Triumphs – Sabina Rosegold
Our Mission
To support orphans and vulnerable children, build life-sustaining water wells in underserved communities in Bangladesh, and empower the next generation of youth leaders through compassion, service, and community-driven action.
Our Vision
The Asef Syed Foundation is a youth-led organization dedicated to empowering the next generation of compassionate and enlightened leaders through meaningful action. We mobilize teens to collaborate on creating awareness campaigns, providing a platform for collaboration across youth communities while fundraising for orphaned children in Bangladesh. At ASF we provide comprehensive youth training and tons of resources that enhance academic, professional and spiritual excellence. We aim to help youth become confident activists, skilled organizers, entrepreneurs, change makers and enlightened leaders. Through our work, we honor Asef’s memory by turning individual passion into collective impact, proving that young people don’t have to wait until adulthood to make a difference and have a lot to contribute.
Zero administrative fees, no salaries for board members, and full transparency in our operations. We are committed to restoring the true Islamic values of zakat, sadaqah, and service to the vulnerable — with every penny going directly to those in need.
Our long-term charitable vision unfolds in three strategic phases:
Phase 1: Immediate Relief and Spiritual Upliftment
We are currently in Phase 1 of our journey — providing essential support to an orphanage and madrassa in Bogra, Bangladesh, located in the village of Asef Syed’s grandfather.
Here, we have built the Asef Syed Qur’an Reading Room, where children are learning to become hafiz (memorizers of the Qur’an) while receiving food, shelter, and basic necessities.
Additionally, we construct clean water wells in rural areas at an accessible cost of $250 per well, providing life-saving water to families who otherwise have none.
Phase 3: Free Health Care Clinic for the Impoverished
In the final phase, we plan to establish a free medical clinic within the Foundation Centre to serve those in extreme poverty.
Healthcare is often inaccessible in rural Bangladesh, and our goal is to ensure no one is denied care due to financial hardship.
We aim to collaborate with Doctors Without Borders and other medical volunteers to provide essential services, side by side with our orphan and elderly care programs.
Phase 2: Building the Asef Syed Foundation Centre
In this next phase, we will expand the orphanage by developing the Asef Syed Foundation Centre on land generously donated by Asef’s grandfather.
This Centre will include:
● Expanded housing and facilities for orphans
● Dedicated quarters for abandoned elderly individuals with no family support
