We are deeply saddened by the recent passing of Sitara Huq, mother of our long-term board member Shehgofta Queen. Sitara Huq regularly came to Samhati’s events and was a huge moral support as well. Samhati gratefully acknowledges the contributions of both Sitara Huq and Shegofta Queen.

The family has asked friends and family to make donations to Samhati in honor of Sitara Huq.
Donations are tax-deductible and checks should be made out to Samhati (with “in honor of Sitara Huq” in the memo line) and mailed to:
13107 Laneview Court
Oak Hill, VA 20171, USA

Donations in honor of Sitara Huq can also be made by PayPal or credit card through our website. The funds will be used to help impoverished women and children in Bangladesh. Samhati has no office or paid staff in the US, and approximately 97% of your donations are spent on the needy in Bangladesh.

Samhati expresses condolences to our former board member Shegofta Queen and to the whole family.
