Mission
Social change is constant, continuous, unavoidable and inevitable. Social transformation is the result of positive actions to improve the environment in which marginalized and the vulnerable are provided with holistic assistance to destine to progress.
BAPU is a change maker which assures the community with certain benefit of changes. We have made changes in the children who were otherwise illiterate, dropped out from school, abused, exploited and denied of fundamental rights and transformed them under the light of education.
They are now educated, skilled, independently employed and contributing to their families and the communities. Women in Burkha/Pardha, dependent, restricted, vulnerable to be trafficked and are often subjected to domestic violence have been transformed to better informed, independent, self reliant and economically and socially empowered to stand against violence and trafficking incidents.
Men, who were marginalized, resource crunched, under employed, indebted have been provided with IGP training and skill development on craftsmanship on Jute and Bamboo based stuff and their potential were diversified to impart on them livelihood program and get them economically strengthened. The operations of BAPU resulted in bringing about a holistic transformation in the community and in the realms of socio-economic development of poor, marginalized, segregated, discriminated and vulnerable section. I therefore appreciate the contribution made by all members who govern, workers who produce a positive outcome, and the communities who help us serve them and ensure a change pertaining to all the services provided to depict a model.
About Bhabna Association For People's Upliftment
It was the dream of the organization to uplift the downtrodden irrespective of religion, caste and creed by providing them livelihood opportunity through Income Generation Program (IGP), Self Help Group (SHG) and Job skill training. The governing body members, employees and the volunteers has been giving the best of their effort in achieving the mile stone and goals set at the early inception. The district of Murshidabad is vulnerable to different issues like trafficking, smuggling, illiteracy, poor reproductive and child health and many more. Our focus though is the women and other excluded group of the society. Trafficking, sexual exploitation and domestic violence are the evils which makes the girl child and the women the victim. We have been working in order to depreciate the sufferings of this group. We have always given priority to deliver services in the field of education (both vocational and traditional), health and human rights. BAPU ensures its presence where and when the women and the down trodden suffers and has got a zero tolerance in approach against violence against women. The organization identified natural resources and easily available stuff like jute and bamboo and is disseminating capacity building training to the group to make the women folk skilled in craftsmanship and entrepreneurship to ensure their economic empowerment.
We are in the need of external aid to provide better education for the socially excluded that are not fortunate enough to further their studies though they have the potential to do so.
We believe “Education makes people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave.”
