Patricia Kerr, a former British Airways flight attendant, dedicated her life to helping vulnerable mothers and children in Bangladesh after witnessing extreme poverty during a visit to Dhaka in 1981. In 1989, she founded Shishu Palli Plus (Sreepur Village) in Gazipur, providing shelter, education, healthcare, and vocational training to help struggling families become self-reliant. Since its establishment, the organization has supported more than 5,000 families, keeping mothers and children together and offering them hope for a better future. Known affectionately as “Mummy Pat” and the “Angel of the Airways,” she turned a simple act of compassion into a lasting humanitarian legacy.
