Operation Bangladesh, a humanitarian initiative founded by philanthropist Morad Shaker, has officially announced a historic expansion into a new global phase, marking a major transition from a regional effort into a structured international platform. The expansion, detailed in a press release on July 7, 2026, establishes a multi-continental operational model spanning Asia, Africa, the Americas, and the Pacific region.
The initiative originally focused on structured support for underprivileged populations in Bangladesh, with a target of approximately 5 million beneficiaries. As it evolved, a significant portion of the planned allocation expanded into multiple countries while retaining the name Operation Bangladesh, recognizing Bangladesh as the birthplace of the broader global vision. Currently, approximately 4.2 million allocation units have been structured across participating regions, with continued development expected.
According to Morad Shaker, this expansion represents a historic transition from regional implementation to a broader international engagement model. The initiative is now entering a new operational stage focused on structured engagement with international stakeholders, including institutional dialogue and country-level cooperation. Future development will emphasize long-term collaboration, sustainable planning, and structured humanitarian partnerships.
Operation Bangladesh operates under a structured governance framework aligned with its affiliated nonprofit, Shaker International Scholarship Programs (SISP), a nonprofit organization registered in the State of Wyoming, United States (Entity ID: 2025-001826158). The initiative maintains a focus on transparency, organized coordination, responsible planning, and long-term humanitarian development.
The digital presence of the initiative has grown significantly. SISP maintains an online community of more than 470,000 followers, primarily in Bangladesh, while the official Operation Bangladesh platform has surpassed 140,000 followers, reflecting expanding international audience and global outreach.

Morad Shaker, founder and president, stated that this transition is a defining milestone in the evolution of Operation Bangladesh and reflects a long-term commitment to building an internationally connected humanitarian ecosystem. He has been spending extended time across Asia, working on the continued development of the initiative, meeting with international petitioners, collaborators, and supporters. His work continues in a focused and uninterrupted manner, transforming the vision into a fully realized global system.
The expansion framework emphasizes multi-country humanitarian coordination, structured allocation systems, cross-regional development frameworks, and long-term institutional sustainability. This transition represents the evolution of Operation Bangladesh into a structured global humanitarian platform with expanding international reach, aligned with the broader Shaker Global Poverty Reduction Plan.
