Our programmes and activities support the poor and vulnerable in their struggle for human rights and social justice began in 1985.
We believe sustainable change can only be achieved by giving a voice to the most vulnerable in society and listening to their concerns.
Following a right based approach we work in partnership with communities across southwest Bangladesh to develop our programmes.

We are committed to making sure local communities participate in all aspects of development. We want to empower people to overcome the challenges they face.
Our programmes help women, the landless, outcastes, untouchables and ethno-religious minorities. These groups are the victims of socio-economic dislocation, a hierarchical caste system and a male dominated society
Over the years our activities and working area have grown in response to the needs of our target groups. We currently work with partners in Satkhira, Khulna, Jessore and Bagerhat Districts of southwest Bangladesh.
