With its head office located at Praasad Paltan Square (Level 4), 3/11 Naya Paltan, Box Culvert Road, Motijheel, Dhaka, Bangladesh; the Foundation started its journey as a small but determined team with a big dream to bring meaningful change at the grassroots level.

The Foundation works to promote health, education, safe migration, gender equality, and community resilience through innovative and inclusive approaches.
