About Rekha Unnayan Sangstha

Farmer harvesting paddy in rural Bangladesh

Rekha Unnayan Sangstha started in 2009 in a single village in Khulna, when a handful of teachers and a retired agriculture officer began sitting with farming families to ask one question: what do you actually need? Sixteen years on, we are a registered non-profit working with 24 villages across coastal and northern Bangladesh.

Most of what we do is unglamorous — seed distribution, irrigation pumps, women's savings groups, school stipends, legal aid. We don't run flagship campaigns. We show up year after year and publish what we spend.

Our mission

A fair shake for every village

Bangladesh's farming and working-class families have carried the country through floods, cyclones, price shocks, and political upheaval. Our mission is simple: make sure the people doing that work are heard in the rooms where decisions about them get made.

That means free legal aid when a tenant farmer is cheated, a savings group when a widow has no collateral, and a seat at the union council when a road or school is being planned. We organise, we document, and where we have to, we push back.
