At Humanity In Distress (HID), we believe that everyone deserves a chance to lead a dignified life, free from poverty, hunger, and disease. Since our inception in 2001, we have been committed to improving the socio-economic conditions of distressed individuals and communities in Bangladesh. Through our various programs, we aim to empower those in need and foster a society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Our Mission and Vision

HID was founded by a group of socially motivated individuals in Rangpur district who recognized the urgent need to address the challenges faced by the marginalized sections of society. Our mission is to implement development actions that provide greater unity among the poor, create easier access to economic resources, and ensure basic social services such as education, healthcare, and skill development. Our vision is a society free from all forms of poverty, exploitation, and disparity.

Key Initiatives and Impact

1. Education and TrainingEducation is a powerful tool for breaking the cycle of poverty. HID provides free computer training to poor and meritorious students, equipping them with essential skills for better employment opportunities. Our vocational training programs help individuals gain valuable skills that enhance their employability and economic independence.
2. Health and SanitationAccess to healthcare is a fundamental human right. Our free Friday Clinics offer medical consultations and treatments to destitute patients, ensuring they receive the care they need. We also conduct health awareness campaigns to educate communities on vital health issues and promote better hygiene practices.
3. Economic DevelopmentEconomic empowerment is crucial for sustainable development. HID’s microfinance program provides small loans and business training to poor women, helping them start and sustain small businesses. This initiative not only boosts household incomes but also fosters a sense of independence and self-reliance among women.
4. Women’s EmpowermentEmpowering women is at the heart of our mission. We offer education, skills training, and income-generating activities tailored to women, enabling them to play a significant role in their communities and contribute to their families’ well-being.
