Organization
The Euro Bangla Foundation is a non-political, impartial, democratic and voluntary social service organization dedicated to alleviating poverty in Bhedorgonj, Shariatpur - Bangladesh. The main aim of the Euro Bangla Foundation is to support underprivileged people in the villages of Bangladesh to become independent through self-employment. For this purpose, the Euro Banlga Foundation grants poor people access to financial services, conceptual planning, training and advice.
The work of the Euro Bangla Foundation is based on the premise that the poor have skills, which remain unutilized or underutilized. The Euro Bangla Foundation is convinced that the answer to poverty lies within unleashing and financially supporting the energy and creativity in each human being. For this reason, the Euro Bangla Foundation grants poor people access to credits on reasonable terms and enables them to build on their existing skills and earn a better income in each cycle of loans.
In addition, the Euro Bangla Foundation operates a training centre, where underprivileged women and unemployed men are educated on several practical activities. These range from fish breeding, animal husbandry, market gardening and forestry over sanitation, prevention of diseases and efficiently saving acquired money. Furthermore, the Euro Bangla Foundation provides loans to talented young students that seek to pursue higher education and distributes different kinds of reading and writing materials. Apart from supporting people to become self employed, the Euro Bangla Foundation also helps people affected by flood, drought, cyclones and other natural disasters, by distributing drinking water, medicine, cloths and food.
