When you become an AFB sponsor, you will give the priceless gift of hope to a desperately poor child who would become just another statistic without the help of generous people like you. The AFB is a non-profit, charitable Bangladeshi national organization dedicated to improving the socioeconomic, educational, health and environmental conditions in Bangladesh. AFB was founded in 1992. It brings knowledge and opportunity for young people to find training, a job and to learn about rights, better health, nutrition, and how democracy works.
Illiteracy is an overwhelming obstacle to people in developing countries.
We believe that by promoting literacy and education, we are building a foundation for effective development. Literacy is a very basic requirement and by supporting it we make a long-term investment in the future of Bangladesh. Our goal is to encourage programmes that not only respond to immediate needs, but also make a long term difference in people's lives by helping their family and community become self-sufficient. We would like to use our investment in education to try to educate and train people to increase productivity and accelerate economic development through agricultural and industrial development. We would like to increase the participation of these distressed people in the social and economic development of our country.
