PSD PSD provides free education for underprivileged children in the Maghbazar and Rampura areas of Dhaka

Programme for Sustainable Development (PSD) is a grass-root, non-government, non-religious, non-profit social development organisation dedicated to provide primary education for underprivileged children. Started with adult teaching for adolescent girl in 2001 PSD realized that it needs to focus more attention for their next generation. As a result, PSD started primary education for underprivileged

slum children at Moghbazar and Nandipara in Dhaka city aiming to escape the illiteracy. We aim to facilitate sustainable social change in ultra-poor communities through education and livelihood development. We achieve this by delivering free primary schooling, basic health care, micro-credit finance schemes, alternative livelihood development, partnering and advocacy. We have a particular focus on meeting the needs of the most disadvantaged groups in society – women, children and ethnic minority groups. PSD is registered under Department of Social Welfare, Joint Stock Companies & Firms, and NGO Affairs Bureau.

Against all odds, PSD has survived the battle to remain steadfast in its mission of education the underprivileged youth of Bangladesh.

Since the pandemic, non-profits have been hit the hardest, with funds disappearing into thin air and student attendance rates dropping like flies.

It has taken us five years, yes - but we still stand strong, and we will grow, despite the challenges we face.

Hello our dear followers ~ here's our 2025 Update !

The 2020 Covid-19 pandemic significantly impacted the PSD School, particularly affecting those families who were unable to feed and clothes their offspring and were forced to either employ their young sons in any kind of job to help their families or decided to marry their daughters off, no longer having the courage to brave an uncertain future. Underprivileged children from all over Bangladesh faced numerous challenges during this time such as Increased Dropout Rates and Child Labor, Funding Shortages, Learning Loss, Lack of Remedial Support and Multiple Economic Hardships that affected education continuity.

Since 2021, we have been working hard on implementing solutions, re-organising the scope of our efforts and sharpening our focus to deal with the problem areas. Eventually we got most of our students back in class and started to teach them again what they had forgotten in the meantime.

In the beginning 2023, we renewed our license and re-structured our entire committee board, bringing in experienced minds and hearts, with several of the new joining members former or current NGO workers.

Since the start of the pandemic, many Educational Parents could not continue to support us financially with the amount they had previously contributed each month. Overcoming this hurdle required us to arrange new sources of funding. Eventually we partnered with the International Inner Wheel Bailey Garden, Soroptimist International of the Americas, Inc. WFWP Bangladesh , (Women’s Federation for World Peace)
and the Agami Foundation. With rejuvenated purpose, we started on our mission once again.

PSD has always dreamt of a better tomorrow where our children, no matter what economic background they come from, will have the opportunity to receive an education. Thank our Facebook followers for your continued support - through tough times, you have shown us that you care about what we do by liking and commenting on our posts, pictures and updates from quite some time ago!

We would love to express our appreciation on behalf of all PSD students, teachers, parents, and employees. We hope to reach farther and wider than ever before through our work from now on.
