We have following programs experience shortly review of organization profile. 

The Sujog Foundation (SF) is committed to improve the lives of the poor households. It has may be successfully completed some development project with the help of some individual donor, national organization and the Government funding. The management and the field team have exposure to work with the poor community. Beyond the funding support it has developed its working relationship with various national and international agencies. Being committed to environment friendly development to facilitate socio-economic empowerment of the poor, the organization grew as a small local organization over the years with its participatory approach and bottom up development initiatives. The organization brings the economically and socially disadvantage families into groups for social and economic development.

One of the objectives of the organization is to develop the people’s institutions. Institution building is aimed at building an institution at the local level to be managed by the disadvantaged and poor man/women. Education and training has been intended to develop skilled resources so that they can work on their own for the self-development. The work experience of the organization with its short development journey can be highlighted below.

** Arsenic Mitigation:

In recent years, widespread presence of arsenic above the permissible rate in ground water has added a new dimension in the planning for drinking water supply. Recent estimates of the percentage of the population exposed to arsenic from drinking water in excess of the Bangladesh standard of 50ppb is 29 million  and is excess of the WHO guideline value of 10 ppb is 49 million. Most of the tube wells have been found affected by the arsenic, having arsenic greater than 50ppb. However there are some concerns regarding health impacts for the arsenic contamination of the tube wells. The SF has been prioritized the issue and undertaken the testing and mitigation of the problems in order to address the rural communities.
