BACKGROUND
BASTOB is a non-profit, voluntary organization working in various development fields with disadvantaged segments of society, especially women and children. Its name is derived from the Bangla word meaning practical or reality- the simple reality that our world contains many social and economic disparities. BASTOB’s development activities focus principally on the underprivileged populations, who have no opportunity to participate, contribute or benefit from their economies. It’s aim is to therefore create an opportunity for these people to be included in a world that they have largely been left out from.
Since its inception in July 97, BASTOB has organized, explored and initiated many activities, with help from various individuals and partners, in it’s effort to eradicate economic and social issues. The experienced, energetic, dynamic and committed organizational network of BASTOB has made it a fast growing and successful institution within a short period of time in the development arena.
VISION
BASTOB envisions a Society in which poor and disadvantaged people are developed and self-reliant.
