Humanity In Distress Principles

The poor and vulnerable are quite capable of breaking out of poverty at the point when

they obtain greater access to quality education and health when they have the least money to take off, when they become aware of and can attain their rights, and when they form and participate in an organization that effectively represent their interests.

Empirical learning & devotion to practical challenges uphold an organization’s existence.
Good governance at all levels ensures commitment to excellence.
An organization’s effectiveness is valued through productive social capital.
Organizational development is “a must” process for sustainability.
We exist to work with the poor, vulnerable, and marginalized people of Bangladesh.
