Governance & Leadership

Led with accountability,

AlorPotheSundorJibon is governed by a 21-member General Body and a 7-member Executive Committee, supported by senior leadership that ensures every programme stays true to our rights-based mission.

Messages from leadership

AlorPotheSundorJibon has been striving to serve the most marginalised — persons with disabilities, distressed and discriminated women, adolescents and children who have no assets, power, dignity or rights in society. I extend earnest thanks to our Executive Body, General Council, funding agencies, partners, personal donors, network organisations, government agencies and all well-wishers. Our collective effort lets us dream bigger for the future.

Mr. Md. Mokbul Hossain

Chairman

Our running programmes — Training, Women Empowerment, Health & Family Planning, Water & Sanitation, Human Rights, Social Justice, Education, Working Children's Education, Disaster & Climate Change Adaptation, HIV/AIDS, Agriculture, Fisheries and Social Forestry — are only possible because of our donors, partners, government departments, volunteers, staff, committees and the communities we serve. I invite everyone to contribute to our mission of an illiteracy- and poverty-free Bangladesh.
