Programs and results
What we aim to solve
BASMAH believes in change. The right kind of change happens when people are empowered. BASMAH's aim is to ensure long-term stability while providing short-term help where necessary. Its development interventions target long- term growth and to bring about a meaningful change in the lives of people who are disadvantaged and in distress. With this end in view BASMAH extended its development cooperation to complement the efforts of Bangladesh which is the host country of the Rohingya refugees. Bangladesh itself is faced with multi-faceted problems. BASMAH runs programs on education, health service, disaster and humanitarian assistance and skill development for the disadvantaged people.
