DHAKA, Bangladesh, June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Anjuman & Aziz Charitable Trust (AACT), founded by Summit Group Chairman Muhammed Aziz Khan and his wife Anjuman Aziz Khan, today announced the expansion of its educational initiatives to support nearly 10,000 disadvantaged children across Bangladesh. This significant scale-up reinforces the Trust's commitment to providing quality education to vulnerable children, particularly those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
AACT's expanded program builds on its four-year partnership with UNICEF Bangladesh, established in 2022, which initially focused on helping 3,000 out-of-school children in Dhaka South City Corporation Zones 3, 4, and 5 re-enter education and catch up on lost learning. The Trust's comprehensive approach now encompasses multiple educational programs through strategic partnerships with leading organizations.
"Every child is the future, if we want a future we must enable the child, that via education. Education is not only children's right, it's our survival," said Muhammed Aziz Khan, Founder and Chairman of Summit Group, and Founder and Trustee of AACT. "Our inspiration to support Dhaka South came from my deep roots in businesses which started in Dhaka's Chawk Bazar and Urdu Road."
The expanded initiative includes continued support for Prothom Alo Trust's Alor Pathshala program, which currently operates seven schools in hard-to-reach areas such as Kurigram, Bhola, Naogaon, Teknaf, Bandarban, and two in Rajshahi. Since 2009, this program has educated more than 1,350 students aged 6-16 in remote regions, with 900 students having passed at least the 5th grade to date.
AACT has also strengthened its partnership with the SEID-Summit Community Therapy School in Kamrangirchar, which provides essential services to 98 differently-abled children from low-income families. Since 2009, Summit Group has supported this school, offering specialized education and income-generating training like embroidery, batik, sewing, and cooking skills.
Additionally, the Trust continues its support for the Jaago Foundation, which provides English-curriculum education to financially disadvantaged children. In 2021, when Jaago faced a funding crisis, Summit Corporation provided a matching fund for three years, enabling the organization to educate 4,500 students across 10 schools in 11 districts.
"I am so delighted to see the good works of UNICEF and our other partners. Every child must be protected, every child must be educated, and they must be happy children to have a future," Muhammed Aziz Khan has stated regarding the Trust's educational mission.
The Khans made history in 2022 as the first Bangladeshis to join the UNICEF International Council, a distinguished community of approximately 150 private philanthropists and global influencers who pool their funding and expertise to optimize investments for children worldwide. This expanded educational initiative further demonstrates their growing commitment to creating sustainable educational opportunities for Bangladesh's most vulnerable children.

Muhammed Aziz Khan Expands Educational Access for 10,000 Disadvantaged Children Through Charitable Trust
JINAN, China, April 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Niutech Environment Technology Corporation (Niutech), a globally recognized leader in continuous pyrolysis, announced on March 24 that its majority-owned subsidiary, Shandong Hesheng Environment Technology Co., Ltd.(Hesheng), has officially broke ground on a 100,000 tons per year (TPY) tire pyrolysis expansion project, which scales up Hesheng's total annual processing capacity from 60,000 TPY to 160,000 TPY, becoming a global leading enterprise as the world's largest collection, processing and comprehensive utilization for tire resource recovery through pyrolysis.
This project expansion will deploy Niutech's next-generation and large-capacity industrial continuous intelligent pyrolysis equipment — engineered to outperform traditional systems across single-unit throughput, uptime, and automation. These upgrades will cut unit operating costs and boost project economics, providing a stronger support for large-scale, sustainable commercial operation of tire pyrolysis projects. For a long time, how to achieve large-scale, continuous and stable commercial operation of pyrolysis projects has been a key focus of the global industry. This project not only reflects Niutech's technical advances in high-end pyrolysis R&D and manufacturing, but also demonstrates its ability to bring continuous pyrolysis to wider industrial adoption.
On the product aspect, leveraging Niutech's technical R&D capabilities, Hesheng continues to enhance stability and quality of its pyrolysis products. Currently, Hesheng's tire pyrolysis oil has obtained international certifications, enabling it to high-end global markets. Meanwhile, through technological innovation, pyrolysis carbon black is continuously being upgraded toward standardization and high-value-added applications to better meet customer demands for product consistency, stability, and application performance.
As the global circular economy accelerates, demand for high-quality pyrolysis oil and pyrolysis carbon black from international tire manufacturers, chemical companies, and related material customers is steadily growing. Upon completion of the capacity expansion, Hesheng will possess stronger capabilities for large-scale and stable supply, better meeting the downstream market's demand for reliable, high-quality recycled materials in significant volumes.
Niutech also stated that in the future, the company will continue to leverage its technological innovation and capital strengths as a listed company to drive the iterative upgrading and large-scale application of pyrolysis technology and equipment, contributing to the resource recovery and recycling of global waste tires as well as green and low-carbon development.
