Gram Bikash Kendra (GBK) is dedicated to improving the lives and livelihoods of women, children, indigenous people, Dalits, and small farmers through inclusive, sustainable development.
Vision: A diverse society with equality, responsiveness, fairness and human dignity.
Gram Bikash Kendra (GBK) is a regional non-profit development organization founded by a group of socially committed youths in northwest Bangladesh. Since 1993, GBK has worked as an enabling force for vulnerable sections of the community—especially women, children, senior citizens, indigenous people, Dalits, and marginal farmers—focusing on social change and sustainable development. Our experienced team provides technical, social, and motivational support to rural communities, helping them improve their lives and livelihoods.
Legal Status: Fully accredited NGO, registered with the Government of Bangladesh and international agencies.
A diverse society with equality, responsiveness, fairness and human dignity.
Sustainable development of socio-economically marginalized communities in northwest Bangladesh by engaging their resources and potential through multi-stakeholder partnership.
Gram Bikash Kendra (GBK) works across seven strategic focus areas to empower marginalized communities in northwest Bangladesh. Our ongoing programs and projects address economic growth, sustainable agriculture, WASH, education, climate resilience, culture, and access to basic services.
Microfinance for ultra-poor, marginalized, and women-led households; financial inclusion for ethnic and Dalit communities.
Promoting sustainable agriculture, livestock, and fish culture for food security and income.
Ensuring access to clean water, sanitation, and improved nutrition for all ages.
Inclusive, equitable education and capacity building for youth, women, and marginalized groups.
Adaptation, mitigation, and disaster response for climate resilience.
Promoting and safeguarding cultural and natural heritage, especially for indigenous and Dalit communities.
Reducing inequality and improving access to health, education, and social protection.
Through the DALIT and ALO projects, GBK supported hundreds of Dalit and indigenous women to start small businesses, access microfinance, and gain leadership skills. Many now run their own enterprises, send their children to school, and are active in local decision-making.
“Now I can support my family and help other women in my village.”
The Adolescent, Sports and Culture Program and RAISE have trained over 1,000 rural youth in leadership, sports, and job skills. Many have become community organizers, teachers, and entrepreneurs.
“GBK gave me the confidence to dream bigger and work for my community.”
Projects like RMTP-High Value Fruits & Crops and PACE helped thousands of marginal farmers adopt modern, sustainable agriculture. Farmers report increased yields, better market access, and improved family nutrition.
“With GBK’s help, my harvest and income doubled in just two years.”
