About Plan Bangladesh

Plan has been operating in Bangladesh since 1994, helping poor children to access their rights to health, education, economic security and protection. Children are the heart of everything we do. We partner with 30 national and local non-governmental organizations, and together our work benefits more than 3,500,000 people. One of our current projects helps small-holding households mobilize their entrepreneurial skills and gain greater knowledge of good farming practices so that they can increase their incomes and establish sustainable livelihoods. Integrating agriculture and microfinance programs, the Dairy Farm project will benefit around 500 families from 2 districts in its initial phase alone.
