Supporting people from the Rakhine State of Myanmar
We act as a catalyst, creating opportunities for people living in poverty to realise their potential. We pilot, perfect and scale innovations to impact the lives of millions. Our approach is comprehensive, from operating the largest secular private education system in the world to the largest NGO-led legal aid programme in the world. We are almost completely self-sustainable in Bangladesh through our own network of development programmes, social enterprises and investments, and operate in 11 countries across Asia and Africa.
Get on the good side. Join the world’s biggest family. Small is beautiful, but scale is necessary. Learn more
