The New England Bangladeshi American Foundation (NEBAF) is a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to supporting Bangladeshi and South Asian communities throughout New England. We were created from a simple belief: no one should have to choose between building a new life in America and staying connected to the culture, traditions, and community that make them who they are.
NEBAF’s story is deeply rooted in the personal experience of our founder, Sitara Naheed. As an immigrant herself, Sitara understood firsthand how challenging it can be to navigate a new country and culture without a strong support system. After losing her husband at a young age, she found herself raising two young daughters in America while learning to navigate a culture that was unfamiliar to her. Her own experiences inspired her to create the kind of welcoming, supportive community she needed during that time.
From that vision, NEBAF grew into a place where immigrant families can find connection, resources, education, and support while celebrating and preserving their cultural heritage.
