MNHR Bangladesh is a non-governmental organization, officially registered with the NGO Affairs Bureau under the Prime Minister’s Office of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh. Established in 2015, MNHR Bangladesh is committed to fostering sustainable development through blended community development initiatives. Our expertise span improving livelihoods, education, environmental sustainability and humanitarian aid, aligning with national and global development goals
We envision a Bangladesh where poverty is eradicated, and every citizen has equitable access to educational opportunity, economic dignity, and environmental security. Through our community-centered approach, we’re building inclusive systems that empower today's citizens while safeguarding resources for tomorrow’s generations.
To empower marginalized and vulnerable communities across Bangladesh by enhancing livelihoods, building life‐skills, expanding access to essential services, and fostering sustainable resource management, while upholding human rights, good governance, and gender equity - to create lasting, inclusive development
MNHR-Bangladesh has identified seven strategic priorities that will guide its future actions and ensure long-term impact:
Distribute nutritious food packages during Eid and lean seasons so every family can celebrate and live with dignity
Construct low‐cost homes, tubewells and mosques to strengthen community resilience and belonging
Provide scholarships, learning materials, and our “Hafez Sponsorship” to empower bright but under‐resourced students
Deliver vocational and life‐skills training for youth and women to enhance employability and self‐reliance.
Delivering urgent aid and long-term support to communities affected by disasters, conflict, and displacement
More than 36 percent of the total population of Bangladesh is suffering from food insecurity and malnutrition. During Eid-al-Fitr and Eid-al-Adha, countless families struggle to afford a proper meal, which limits their ability to celebrate with dignity. Our Food Support Program provides nutritious meals and food packs to those in need, focusing on :
Distribution of fresh Qurbani meat to struggling households in different parts of Bangladesh, including selected FDMN (Rohingya) people living in refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar.
Ramadan iftar and Eid meal drives for dignified celebration among low earning households
Special focus on widows, orphans, and persons with disabilities
Safe homes and functional communal spaces foster resilience and social cohesion. Keeping this in mind, we have initiated our shelter and community infrastructure project, to build safe houses, install deep tube-wells, and renovate poorly constructed mosques across various districts of Bangladesh.
Construction of low‐cost, flood‐resilient houses for landless families
Renovation of existing, poorly conditioned mosques with improved, hygienic Ozukhana with water tank.
Installation of tube wells and hand pumps, to promote WASH.
Education is a fundamental right for all, yet many children in Bangladesh, especially in rural areas, lack access to proper schooling. With a 62.92 percent functional, and 74.23 percent general literacy rate, the country has made progress but is still far from achieving universal education for all. To address the challenges in education, MNHR Bangladesh is committed to:
Hafez Sponsorship Program for full support of academically brilliant but financially struggling madrasah students.
Providing school supplies, uniforms, and scholarships for students in need.
Conducting adult literacy programs to educate parents and guardians.
Although Bangladesh’s general literacy rate is 74.23%, only 62.92% of citizens possess functional literacy, leaving many without the foundational skills needed for gainful employment and economic mobility.
Life-skills and vocational training courses (basic IT, shorthand, tailoring etc.) for youth and women.
Adult literacy project for bridging learning-gaps among struggling, uneducated professionals.
Short term certifications and soft-skills training for professionals.
Bangladesh ranks among the most disaster-prone countries globally, facing annual floods, cyclones, and rising climate displacement. Over 1.2 million Rohingya refugees currently reside in camps in Cox’s Bazar under dire conditions. Our Humanitarian Response program focuses on providing effective humanitarian assistance, restore dignity, and support recovery.
Emergency aid for flood/cyclone-affected areas.
Humanitarian support for Rohingya communities: food parcels, hygiene kits, learning materials.
Training and mobilization of in-house youth volunteers for disaster response and first-aid services.
Distribution of clothing and shelter repair materials.
