Apasen International is delighted to announce that the award winning Coriander restaurant in Hatch End, Harrow, is generously hosting a charity fundraiser for our children’s centres in Bangladesh.
Salim Chowdhury, Director and a highly respected business leader, explained why he is supporting us:
“Apasen International is the only charity we know that is helping children with learning disabilities and autism in Bangladesh. These kids are very hard to reach and in isolated situations that make their conditions worse. They have already opened two community day care centres and we hope this fundraiser will help more children and their families access these desperately needed health and education services.”
With all costs being very generously donated by Coriander, every ticket sold will help pay for one child’s specialist care and education services for an entire month in Bangladesh.

Salim Chowdhury, Owner, Coriander Hatch End, and Mahmud Hasan, Chief Executive of Apasen Int meeting recently to discuss event.
Mahmud Hasan, Chief Executive, Apasen International said:
“We’re really grateful to Coriander for hosting this event – Salim Chowdhury is an exceptionally busy restaurant owner and business leader who still finds time to raise funds for the vulnerable in Bangladesh and in the UK. His generosity directly helps us improves the lives of vulnerable children in the slums and villages of Bangladesh. Please do come and support us.”
