Uttaran

Uttaran, which means ‘transition’, in Bangla language has been living up to its name through a myriad of development interventions since 1985 from Jatpur village of Tala upazila under Satkhira district to uphold the rights of the poor and underprivileged. The organization was founded with the aim of building a society free from all inequalities where everyone can access and is aware of their basic rights. Being a people centred organization, Uttaran has been using a rights-based approach to alleviate poverty, diversify livelihood opportunities and empower poor communities throughout the southwest region with gradual expansion to other parts of the country. For the last 36 years Uttaran has been working for the most inaccessible and vulnerable districts of Bangladesh.
