Serving the Haor Communities of Bangladesh

Together for Humanity

Alokito Haor Foundation works to transform everyday life in the haor wetlands of Austagram, Kishoreganj: a region rich in nature yet cut off for half the year from the healthcare, schools and opportunity the rest of Bangladesh takes for granted.

Improving lives across the haor

Who We Are

Alokito Haor Foundation is a Bangladesh-based non-profit working for the people of the haor wetlands, especially Austagram in Kishoreganj. Founded and led by a board that combines corporate, legal, humanitarian and international development expertise, we run an integrated programme across seven core areas, and are now moving from community programming into major infrastructure for the region.

Our Focus

Seven ways we serve the haor

Each programme area addresses a distinct barrier facing haor households. Together they form one mutually reinforcing mission.

Agriculture

Wetland-adapted farmer training and advocacy for a dedicated Haor Agro Hub.

Health

A planned hospital, health hotline, and land and water ambulances for the haor.

Education

Dropout prevention, scholarships and play equipment so children stay in school.

Women Empowerment

Technical training centres and handicraft marketing for independent income.

What We Are Building
