Bangladeshi visionary Captain Golam Kibria – the Founder of the Dr. Mostafa Hazera Foundation and Chairman of MH Global Group – addressed the UK Parliament on October 26, 2025 to advocate for a free Bangladesh and condemn human rights violations.

He discussed the UN Human Rights Office's fact-finding report on the severe violations during the July–August 2024 protests, stating that Bangladesh's current democracy roadmap is inadequate without proactive steps to prevent state-sponsored violence and impunity, in the presence of UK MPs (including Dr Rupa Huq and Apsana Begum), the FCDO (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) lead, and UN representatives. He urged the UK Government and the UN to implement a strategic action plan to ensure that Bangladesh achieves democracy and justice. He confirmed that his work and the presence of international figures in the discussion sent a strong signal that "the world is now watching Bangladesh."

Captain Kibria has taken a groundbreaking step in addressing humanitarian crises worldwide. Through the Dr. Mostafa Hazera Foundation, the Global Five Zero Campaign is challenging centuries-old charity traditions by establishing a new model of empowerment and sustainable partnership.

Global advocacy and youth engagement

Captain Kibria's revolutionary Five Zero model has been actively advocated to global leaders and is now set to make an academic debut at Oxford University in mid-December this year, where he will unveil the detailed framework of the Five Zero Campaign.

The model has already created waves among young people worldwide through presentations at prestigious institutions, including Queen Mary University of London's Global Youth Summit and various Canadian university programmes. His message has sparked unprecedented enthusiasm and engagement among the younger generation, who see in his approach a fresh, actionable path toward meaningful global change.

Bangladesh model presented at the United Nations

In a significant global advocacy move, Captain Kibria has committed to working with the United Nations to implement the Five Zero Campaign for the Rohingya refugee community. Following extensive camp visits and submission of a comprehensive report to the UN, he presented a detailed roadmap for sustainable refugee welfare.

This initiative has received unprecedented response at the highest levels. The President of the 30th United Nations General Assembly has aligned with the same strategic approach for Rohingya welfare, marking a historic achievement for Captain Golam Kibria on the global stage. This recognition establishes his stature as an emerging humanitarian strategist providing practical solutions to one of the world's most complex refugee crises.

Living testimony of success in Africa

The campaign's global impact was vividly demonstrated through recent celebrations in Africa, where entire communities took to the streets expressing joy and gratitude for the foundation's work. People gathered with radiant faces and cheerful voices, celebrating the tangible support received through the Five Zero mission. This heartfelt public endorsement serves as undeniable proof of the campaign's profound success and deep resonance within the communities it serves.

The Five Zero journey from Noakhali to the World

The 'Five Zero' framework of Dr. Mostafa Hazera Foundation, which began in Deoti village, Noakhali, has the following core objectives:

1. Zero beggars - Transforming street dependency into skilled self-reliance

2. Zero homeless - Converting shelters into partnerships of mutual responsibility

3. Zero illiteracy - Weaponising education against the darkness of ignorance

4. Zero death without treatment - Establishing healthcare as an inalienable human right

5. Zero unskilled - Unleashing human potential through capacity building.

This "action-based" philosophy is now transforming lives across 15 countries. The United Nations has also welcomed the application of his model to the Rohingya refugee crisis.

Visionary blueprint for maritime economy

As an internationally recognised maritime expert, Captain Kibria has presented a bold vision for the country's economy. "Bangladesh's next economy must be maritime-based," he said.

He possesses a concrete maritime economy roadmap and has challenged that this sector can surpass the ready-made garment industry, potentially creating a USD 150 billion economy and three million jobs. Captain Kibria also recently invited global investors and shipowners to invest in Bangladesh at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) conference.

National and international recognition

The Foundation has had a profound impact – directly benefitting over 500,000 people through provision of free medical services to more than 362,000 patients, providing support to over 21,000 students with educational materials, and construction of 30 km of rural roads to enhance local economies. Results of such magnitude were rewarded with global as well as national recognition from the Bangladesh government.

The Government of Bangladesh has formally recognised the Foundation's groundbreaking work through the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. Additionally, Captain Kibria's invitation as a State Guest by the Singapore government during Chinese New Year celebrations acknowledges his global social contributions.

New Horizon for Global Peace Captain Kibria's clear message: "We stand at a historic crossroads. We can either continue with century-old approaches that have delivered limited results, or embrace a new paradigm where compassion transforms into concrete action, pity becomes genuine solidarity, and every human being is seen not as a recipient of donations, but as a partner in development."

The Dr. Mostafa Hazera Foundation demonstrates that global peace is not built through fundraisers but through empowering individuals, strengthening communities, and restoring the fundamental dignity of every human being. His visionary thinking involves unveiling a new horizon for global peace based on empowerment and collective humanitarian responsibility – through one skilled hand, one educated mind, and one dignified life at a time.
