About the Nicholas Pogose Foundation
The Nicholas Pogose Foundation is rooted in a remarkable story that began more than 250 years ago in what is now Bangladesh. This is not just the story of a man—it is the story of a movement. A movement that once sparked a revolution in education, now being rekindled to uplift and inspire a new generation of young people across Bangladesh.

A Legacy Reignited
Today, the Nicholas Pogose Foundation seeks to honour this incredible heritage by supporting young people across Bangladesh—offering inspiration and access to Education, Technology, and Sport.
We believe that if a single man could help transform Dhaka’s education system in the 1800s, then together—with our global community—we can ignite an even greater movement today.
WHY?
'Nicky' believed education was the most powerful investment in human dignity and national progress.
What is a 'Nicky' ?
A Nicky is a unique virtual and physical award presented by the Nicholas Pogose Foundation to honour exceptional achievements in education, technology, and sport.
Named after Nicholas Pogose, a pioneer of private education in Old Dhaka, The Nicky celebrates students, teachers, volunteers, and community leaders who demonstrate excellence, creativity, leadership, or dedication in their field—whether online or on the ground.
Why It Matters
The Nicky is more than an award—it’s a symbol of encouragement and aspiration, rooted in our mission to inspire the next generation. It helps us:
- Motivate students and teachers to strive for excellence
- Bridge the digital and real-world learning experience
- Recognise consistent effort, talent, and impact
- Build a culture of appreciation in education and sports
