I am Raiyan Rafid, Executive Director and Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of Sohojogi Foundation. With a strong passion for community development and social change, my mission is to serve the underdeveloped communities, schools, orphanages, and madrasas in rural areas of Bangladesh by providing them with necessities and building long-term, sustainable solutions.
At Sohojogi Foundation, I take responsibility for fundraising, donor engagement, communication, and promotion, ensuring that our vision reaches the right people and creates lasting impact. I work closely with both our supporters and the communities we serve, bridging the gap between donors and underprivileged groups. Through marketing, communication, and strategic promotion, I aim to highlight the importance of investing in education, health, and social welfare for the most vulnerable.
Our work is rooted in advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). From ending poverty and hunger, ensuring quality education, promoting gender equality, clean water and sanitation, to fostering peace, justice, and partnerships—our foundation is committed to contributing to all 17 SDGs in a holistic manner. By aligning our projects with these global goals, we strive to create a stronger, more inclusive, and more resilient Bangladesh.
With Sohojogi Foundation, my ultimate vision is to empower marginalized communities and give children in rural areas a future filled with opportunity and dignity. By combining innovation, social responsibility, and strong communication strategies, we aim to make Bangladesh not just a better place to live—but a place where everyone has the chance to thrive.
