Md Adnan Hossain, Founder and Executive Director of It’s Humanity Foundation (IHF), a Dhaka-based nonprofit organisation, has been selected as one of 12 fellows for the 2026 NGO Fellowship Program organised by the Taiwan Alliance in International Development (Taiwan AID).
Selected from applicants across 80 countries, the fellows will participate in a month-long, fully funded programme bringing together development sector leaders from South Asia, Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia and the Pacific Islands.
Founded by Hossain on June 4, 2010, It’s Humanity Foundation works to support marginalised and rural communities in Bangladesh through education, healthcare and skills development. Since its establishment, the organisation has expanded its initiatives across nine districts, reportedly reaching more than 5,300 children.
Its programmes include Project Alok, which supports children with learning disabilities, Chakar School for street children, and Protibha, an initiative focused on women’s livelihood development.
The Taiwan NGO Fellowship will provide an opportunity for selected participants to exchange experiences, learn from different development practices and explore approaches to strengthening civil society and community development.
Hossain’s selection brings recognition to his continued involvement in the development sector and his work with communities in Bangladesh.
