Work that starts with access.
GFTH supports people who are ready to move forward, but are blocked by the cost of training, healthcare or essential support.
Who we are
A practical foundation for real-world barriers.
GFTH, the Gateway Foundation for Tourism and Hospitality, is a philanthropic, not-for-profit foundation established in Bangladesh in 2026.
We work with existing training providers, medical professionals and local institutions to make essential opportunities reachable for underserved communities.

Five areas.
One clear standard.
Every programme is designed around access, dignity and evidence. The work may evolve, but the standard remains consistent.
Skills & Scholarships
Training, certification and employment pathways through accredited providers.
02Health & Wellbeing
Free medical camps, basic diagnosis, medicine and referral support.
03Humanitarian Response
Direct support during floods, winter and other emergencies.
04Dignity & Gender Equity
Menstrual health support, awareness and safer access to services.
05Community Initiatives
Emerging community needs, excluding microcredit and lending.
Good intentions are not a delivery system.
GFTH uses defined selection, funding and verification steps so that support can be followed from decision to outcome.
How we work- 01 Select the provider against published criteria
- 02 Fund the trainee, paid direct to the provider
- 03 Verify the outcome before releasing funds
Start small. Report properly.
GFTH's first field activity was a free medical camp organised with local partners. The report documents who was reached, what was provided, what it cost and what was learned.
