Our Inspiration - Sir John Wilson
Sir John Wilson was born in January 20, 1919 in England. He died in 23 November, 1999. Though becoming blind at an age of 12, he reeducated himself in the Braille system. He went on to become Founder Director of The Royal Commonwealth Society for Blind and Head of The Global IMPACT Program.
Reason for Establishing Sir John Wilson School
In 1995 Social Services and Management Trust (SSMT) established Sir John Wilson School with two objectives:
- To provide quality English medium education to the future nation
- To help alleviate the sufferings of the disabled and to prevent further avoidable disablement
- The latter is done through the Jibon Tori, a floating hospital of IMPACT, which travels to the interior of riverside, Bangladesh to offer medical services to the poor.
- So far Impact Jibon Tari Floating Hospital has completed its 46th health care project in 26 locations in Dhaka, Barishal, Khulna, Sylhet and Chittagong division.
- In the period of April 1999 to March 2014, Sir John Wilson School (SJWS) of Social Services Management and Trust (SSMT) partially funded Taka 31 Million from its revenue through Jibon Tori as contribution to reduce sufferings of the poorer and disabled population across the country.

- This school project enhances the English capabilities of the nation in a world where English is the overriding business requirement.
Our Request for Your Contribution
The school has already taken a loan from the Bank, but requires additional amount of money to complete the project on time. So we are looking for the generous support from organizations and Individuals like you. Your kind cooperation will help us in meeting the deadline and providing better facilities for the children.
It may be mentioned here that the Board Members of SSMT which runs the school, work on a voluntary basis. None of the Trustees take any monetary (or otherwise) benefit from the school revenues.
