Our Background
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.”
