Born without hands, Altaf Hossain—widely known as Dukhu Mia—uses his feet to write on the blackboard at the school he founded, Pratibha Dukhu Mia Kindergarten, in Panchdona, Bangladesh. Once rejected by society and denied employment opportunities, this former teacher turned his personal challenges into a mission of empowerment. Since 2007, his school has educated and inspired hundreds of children, standing as a powerful symbol of resilience, dignity, and the unbreakable human spirit.
