Message from the Chairperson

I am delighted to let all our well-wishers, patrons, friends, relevant Government agencies, partners, our program/project beneficiaries that we bring out the annual report of 2021-2022. The report focuses on our activities, achievements, challenge and lesson learned during the period under report. The year 2021-22 witnessed receipt of overseas grant for the first time of the history of organization. The grant received from the World Human Rights USA Inc. to launch the “Clean Dhaka Campaign” addressing the problems of solid waste management and supporting the cleaning works of the municipal authority. For reaping the benefits of the demographic dividend, we made attempts to supplement of the program of the Government of Bangladesh to make youths employable. In this connection, vocational training center has been set up at Isapura of Serajdikhan upazila, under the district Munshiganj to provide marketable skills. Under nutrition has been a persisting problem in Bangladesh. Although number of hungry people has come down drastically, there is hidden hunger. It means diet of people largely deficient in vitamins and minerals. To address the problem, we introduced vitamin A rich tuber crop in Serakdikhan upazila under the district Munshiganj This year we expanded our program area to Mithapukur upazila under the district Rangpur where we work in partnership with a social enterprise to address the problems of the rising incidence of non-communicable diseases, climate change impact mitigation & adaptation, restoration and conservation of the indigenous small fishes, promotion of environment-friendly farming and supporting the rural female artisans. During the deluge of 2022 in greater Sylhet, our emergency response team rushed to the flood affected people who were badly in need of food aid. We provided the affected people survival packets, saline, ad candles. The major challenge we faced over the period include; mobilizing the all stakeholders of Isapura for working out ways and means of solid waste management. Land was not available for landfill in the densely populated area. We did not give up, still trying to find out solution in cooperation with the Government

I also thank our committee members, staff members and volunteers.
