Human dignity & gender equality
We uphold the dignity and equal worth of every person we serve.
AlorPotheSundorJibon is a non-government, rights-based organization working alongside the most marginalized communities in Dhaka, — building self-reliance through education, health and sustainable livelihoods.
Our purpose
Why AlorPotheSundorJibon exists
Our goal, vision and mission — set by our founders in 2003 and reaffirmed by the Executive Committee each year — address the systemic inequities that keep rural populations in cycles of poverty. We don't just provide aid; we build the infrastructure of hope.
Goal
Improve the living standard of disadvantaged and vulnerable men, women and children — including persons with disability and minorities — through need-based, sustainable development.
Vision
An environment in which disadvantaged and vulnerable people enjoy rights, justice and security, are climate-resilient and self-reliant, and have access to health, education and emergency support.
Mission
Deliver programmes that bring sustainable benefit to marginalised people irrespective of caste, creed, culture, ethnicity or religion — by empowering them and sensitising stakeholders, and standing beside them during disasters.
Our core values
Nine commitments that shape every programme, partnership and decision we make.
We uphold the dignity and equal worth of every person we serve.
We act with transparency in every commitment we make.
Open reporting and independent audits on every programme.
Every taka is stewarded with discipline and clear purpose.
Climate-smart, locally rooted approaches in everything we do.
We design with communities and iterate towards lasting change.
Process discipline keeps our work consistent, ethical and on-time.

View governanceAlorPotheSundorJibon's programmes are designed for the people most often left behind in rural and peri-urban Bangladesh — those whose dignity and potential deserve uncompromising attention.
Disadvantaged and vulnerable men and women across our working districts.
Survivors and those at risk of gender-based violence and discrimination.
Out-of-school adolescents and young people without sustainable livelihoods.
Landless and asset-poor households living below the poverty line.
AlorPotheSundorJibon will continue its proven models, replicate completed projects into new geographies, and step into newer thematic areas — keeping disadvantaged women, children and persons with disability at the centre.
We will deepen our work in health and family planning, education, women's empowerment, human rights, agriculture and livestock, and women's leadership — through training, advocacy, networks and campaigns — towards a self-sustainable, democratic Bangladesh where human rights are firmly established.
