One has begun to understand the purpose of life when one plants trees under whose shade one will never sit.

IMPACT

Making Bangladesh Blossom Together

Since 2021, Lily Charities has been actively Making Bangladesh Blossom, guided by one question: How can we best help as many people in Bangladesh as possible to escape intergenerational poverty and thrive? Through this mission, we have built and funded 4 schools, sponsored hundreds of year-long scholarships, donated over 50,000 meals, provided women’s education programs, conducted medical camps for hundreds of people, and even built a water well.

Ultimately, we found our place: Increasing literacy. By building libraries and providing access to books, we are breaking cycles of poverty, opening doors to education, and empowering entire communities to succeed for generations. (Read more about the impact of literacy in society.)

At Lily Charities, we believe that where much is given, much is required. We give, because we first received. Together, we can build a brighter future for Bangladesh.

Every donor’s contribution

leads to real, lasting change

in the lives of those we serve.

Integrity

Every promise matters. Thanks to private donors covering operational costs, 100% of public contributions—including credit card fees—fund vital projects in Bangladesh. Every donation directly benefits those in need.

Transparency

Donors deserve clarity. We offer detailed updates on projects in Bangladesh, so you can confidently see how your support transforms communities and changes lives.

Strategic Impact

Changing lives is our greatest measure of success. Beyond money raised, every library, scholarship, and program is crafted to leave a meaningful, sustainable impact on communities and future generations in Bangladesh.

Founding Story

Only the Educated are Free
For two hours, this continued; for two hours I saw these children in my mind regardless of where I went or what I did. And for those two hours my heart burned with a pure love for them. Finally, emotionally exhausted, I said to myself: “Maybe I need to do something about this.”
Lily Charities was born.
Less than 60 days later, we’d raised enough funds to build our first school.
