1. What is Quantum foundation?
Quantum foundation deals with a very vague proposition and they run with the motive to make
every individual of Bangladesh healthy. Quantum Method is the science of wellbeing. It starts
with helping change people’s attitude. The new attitude gives birth to new dendrites, i.e. new
connecting paths between the neurons in our brain. The brain becomes vibrant and energized.
The new working structure of the brain gives birth to new thoughts, words and deeds. Anxiety
dissolves in peace, disease in health and failure in success. We live long, healthy, active and
strong.
Quantum Foundation is a charitable organization dedicated to personal growth and serving
humanity. We believe in accomplishing all our programs through self-reliance, self-initiative and
self-financing.
Through a decade of hard work, they have built the largest donor pool and best equipped blood
center in Bangladesh, saving the lives of more than 2 hundred thousand people. In addition to
setting up hundreds of meditation centers around the country, they are transforming the
community around our meditation resort in Lama, bringing education, health and other services
to this deprived region.
From mother care to burial, safe drinking water to circumcisions, their charitable programs touch
every aspect of life and bring service where it’s most needed.
1.1What does 'Quantum' mean? Why it is called quantum?
Quantum Mechanics along with neuroscience and genetic engineering has changed the world
view of modern people. With the advent of Quantum Mechanics, human consciousness has once
again been established as a major actor in natural phenomenon. Science and the teachings of
ancient spiritual masters have been reconciled. This is why we decided to name this modern
scientific representation of eternal truths Quantum Method.
Also, when a person engages in profound meditation his consciousness takes a leap similar to the
Quantum leap of electrons orbiting around the nucleus. This is another reason we were inspired
to name this Quantum Method.
Finally, the literal meaning of Quantum is the exact or optimum amount. Quantum is the science
1|Page
of living, the science of wellbeing. It helps us establish the optimum balance in our lives. Thus
the name.
2. Mission, Vision, Goals
2.1 Vision
“Our VISION is for the people of Bangladesh to enjoy a better life through quality health.”
2.2 Mission
“Our mission is to help every human being fulfill his true potential by awakening his inner
power. We are striving together to build great compassionate community, where the value of
every human life will be upheld, where every human being will be able to flourish his unique
talents, enlighten his soul, prosper naturally, and live a meaningful life by serving humanity”
3. Establishment
1972: National Professor Dr. Nurul Islam formally inaugurates the voluntary blood
donation program in Bangladesh by donating his own blood.
1978: Voluntary blood donation movement in Bangladesh starts with the establishment of
Shondhani by Dhaka Medical College students.
1981: Bangladesh Red Crescent Society starts its blood bank based voluntary blood
donation program.
1982: ORCA, an alumni association for Rajshahi Cadet College Students, starts its
voluntary blood donation program.
1996: Quantum Foundation enters the world of voluntary blood donation by forming a
mobile donor pool.
2|Page
1997: Bandhon, an association of voluntary blood donors, is established by Dhaka
University students.
2000: Quantum Foundation starts a full-fledged blood donation program by establishing
Quantum Lab.
2003: Modern equipment such as a blood component separator (Centrifuge Machine), an
Elisa Machine for screening, a refrigerator capable of generating temperatures as low as (–
) 90 degrees Celsius, and a platelet incubator for storing platelet are added to Quantum
Lab. As a result it is possible to separate different components from whole blood.
2010: Quantum Lab is an international standard blood lab equipped with state-of-the-art
machinery and capable of supplying 8 blood components in addition to whole blood. The
average monthly supply is around 6000 units.
4. What service do they provide?
4.1 Blood donations
With an ever increasing number of donors, a fully equipped blood lab, uncompromising attitude
towards safety and round-the clock selfless service, Quantum Voluntary Blood Donation
Program is the most trusted source of blood in Bangladesh. Although we started from zero only
ten years ago, today we supply more than 6000 units of blood and blood components every
month.
4.2 Quantum Cosmo school
In Quantum Shishukanon deprived children are blossoming into enlightened human beings. This
residential facility is nurturing the children of the Chittagong Hill Tract area physically,
mentally, emotionally and spiritually, by bringing them every kind of care including education,
health and shelter. As a result, those who seemed destined for a life of ignorance, disease and
poverty are growing up to be the future leaders of the nation.
3|Page
Shishu Kanon started its journey in 2001 with only 7 children from the murong community.
Today more than 300 children representing 15 different indigenous groups and 6 different
religions are blossoming in its shelter. We believe that one day this would be the site of Quantum
Cosmoversity, where people from all over the world would come to be enlightened.
4.3 Shishu Shodon
Unfortunately in our beloved we often seen abandoned new born babies near streets and we simply
walk past them thinking why someone did that but we never take any initiatives. But to blow this
curse away is shishu shodon who takes good care of these babies.
In March 2004, Quantum Shishu Shodon was established in the Foundation’s Rajshahi Center to
raise these babies as enlightened human beings. Shishu Shodon takes in babies found abandoned
in various parts of town and provides them with the necessary care.
At present, 11 girls found abandoned in various parts of the country are being brought up under
the direct supervision of Shahida Banu, retired Principal of Nursing Institute, the Honorary
Director of Shishu Shodon. The eldest, named Nadira Tahseen, is now 5 years old. Like Nadira,
these babies, who seemed destined to die a premature death, are now growing up with the love and
affection of all the Quantum family.
4.4 Mother Care
The matri mongol or Mother Care Program operating in Chittagong and Uttara provides pre and
post-partum care to expecting mothers, including counselling, checkups, regular supply of drugs,
providing one egg per day for nutrition etc. Since the beginning of the program in 2005, care and
treatment has been provided to 179 mothers.
4.5 Drug Rehabilitation Center
In this age of increasing restlessness, more and more promising lives are being destroyed by drugs.
While many drug rehabilitation centers exist, they often fail to successfully address the underlying
4|Page
causes of the addiction, the deep-rooted emptiness and frustration in the addict’s mind. As a result,
the rate of recidivism, or becoming addicted again after rehab, is quite high.
Over the years, many drug addicts have taken part in the Quantum Method Course and successfully
overcome their addiction. Because Quantum Method brings about a comprehensive change in a
person’s life view, he or she never needs to look back after taking part in the course.
Inspired by this success, in June 2011, Quantum Foundation established Jibon Amar (It’s My Life):
A Drug Rehabilitation Center, in Maskanada, Mymensingh. The goal is to help those suffering
from drug addiction overcome their addiction and resume a normal, healthy, fulfilling life.
The addicts participate in a 8-month rehabilitation program, the first six of which is spent in the
Jibon Amar Rehabilitation Center and the remaining two months in a designated Quantum Center
or Branch. During this time, they awaken their inner strength by participating in meditation,
counseling, group discussion etc. The whole program is designed to instill a sense of strong
confidence and genuine optimism in their minds.
A handful of other services are:
4.6 Burial Service
The foundation has taken the initiative to bury or cremate dead bodies that cannot be identified
or cannot be taken care of by the family. A total of 188 dead bodies have been buried or
cremated with full religious rites since the initiation of the program in Rajshahi in 2004. The
program also operates in Narayangonj, Khulna and Lama.
4.7 Safe Drinking Water
Setting up water tanks on street sides was the first social service program undertaken by
Quantum. The first tank was set up in Dhaka in 1996. At present, 81 water tanks in various
places ensure passersby have access to safe drinking water. In addition 52 tube wells have been
set up in various places including Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet to provide safe drinking water.
Two ring wells have been set up in Sylhet. Tube-wells have also been set up in the SIDR
affected areas in Potuakhali.
5|Page
4.8
Disaster Relief
Since the beginning, Quantum Foundation has stood by the grief-stricken people of Bangladesh
during all major calamities. During the devastating floods of 1998, 2004, and 2007, relief goods,
including more than a hundred thousand packages of oral saline prepared by Quantum
volunteers, were distributed amongst the flood affected people. The inhabitants of several
villages were rehabilitated. In the aftermath of cyclone SIDR, countless Quantum members
donated money equivalent to one day's income or expenditure, and participated in the
distribution of clothes and other relief goods. The foundation took all necessary steps to ensure
that the relief goods reached the neediest of the needy. A team of Quantum Organizers and ProQuantiers visited the worst affected areas in Bagerhat, Potuakhali and Borguna, and selected
areas where no government or non-government aid had been distributed till then. Around 15
thousand pieces of new and old clothes, books and sandals were distributed among more than
two thousand families.

Charity Healing
Self-Reliance
Forestation
Distribution of Clothes
5. Main target customer
Quantum foundation have no specific age group or socio economic class target group as their
primary audience. They are ready to each and every human being of Bangladesh. However no
such target group often made their progress difficult as people were unaware of their offerings
and never knew what to expect.
6|Page
7. The output customers are getting
To simply put in accordance with the tagline of Quantum Foundation, ‘a better life’. Quantum
foundations believe that medicine of all the type disease comes from inner peace and they with
their training facilities gives people just the right amount of inner peace so that people can
literally get a better life. Quantum believes meditation can do a world of good to any individual
who is suffering at this moment from whatever the disease is.
8. Prices at which services are provided
Although when it comes to pricing it is not as straight forward as their services are. They take all
different charity funds from all over the world. They have some donors from all age and income
group. They accept all types of donations and recently they also started taking zakat fund into
their charity bank. With all these funds coming through they hardly charge any penny from
customers however if any customers wants to pay then they are entitled to pay whatever they
want and they don’t for anything from them. It is just the wish of the customer whether to pay or
not to pay. Although there are misconceptions largely due to people not knowing about the prices
but through we research and interviews we came to know they don’t charge any penny.
Although there are standard prices for some of products which they sell in the open market such
as Books, Audio and video cassettes
7|Page
9. How they convey their message and why they choose
such media?
They follow traditional flyers/leaflets to promote about their services to their target customers.
With leaflets/flyers they can explain their motives and services in a much more detailed way then
they can do with mass media TVC or billboards. Although they have certain billboards and not
to an extent where it can be said that it is one of their prime media.
8|Page
The above leaflets shows a detailed outline of all the services they provide and why should
someone take such services. In the world of advancement and technology Quantum foundation
do have their own static website and rather back dated Facebook page. But it is through these
different labeled leaflets that their message is strongly conveyed.
9|Page
10. Conclusion
Quantum foundation has been always hit by criticism mainly for their effectiveness, in
Bangladesh people still rely on medicines and not working out to cure their diseases. So quantum
foundation has to fight with traditional allopath medicine and also with homeopath medicine and
establish their point in the field. Although quantum method has been a successful venture in
many countries but they still lag behind when it to come to South East Asia and when it comes to
the context of Bangladesh they are falling even more behind. But there is light in the end of the
tunnel as more and more people are now showing intent to learn about quantum which will
definitely bring about something very positive for Quantum foundation Bangladesh.

Quantum foundation has been always hit by criticism mainly for their effectiveness, in
Bangladesh people still rely on medicines and not working out to cure their diseases. So quantum
foundation has to fight with traditional allopath medicine and also with homeopath medicine and

tunnel as more and more people are now showing intent to learn about quantum which will
definitely bring about something very positive for Quantum foundation Bangladesh.
