MoreAlor Pothe Nobojatray (APON) Foundation (literally translated as ‘In the journey towards enlightenment’) is a non-profit, government approved, charitable organisation dedicated towards enlightening and improving the lives of the economically and socially deprived members of the community. At APON (literally translated as ‘warm and friendly’), we aim to provide basic education to child labourers and to create employment opportunities among the underprivileged and disadvantaged sections of the society.
View DetailsEvery child has the right to receive a basic education. But unfortunately, in Bangladesh, hundreds of thousands of children are being deprived of a basic education because of their socio-economic condition and lack of awareness.
As per a joint study of UNICEF, WFP and the Institute of Public Health and Nutrition, at least 20% of the children in Bangladesh suffer from malnutrition.
APON appreciates and understands the necessity of a basic health and hygiene education for the children. Many APON students spend the entire day in garbage dumps sifting through filth to collect paper/plastic bags to benefit from their resale value in the market.
At present, about 1 million of the country’s children are street children. These children live in deplorable conditions in squalid slums and/or makeshift shelters, and are prone to be abused and exploited.
In Bangladesh, women from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds are often oppressed because of their lack of knowledge and skills.
At present, the youth comprise about 45% of the population of Bangladesh. In the absence of education, guidance and proper training, a large section of youth find themselves unemployed and often prone to engaging in criminal and anti-social activities.
More than 1 million members Rohingya community were recently forcibly evacuated from Rakhine State by the Myanmar military, who have now taken refuge in temporary shelters in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh.
Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable nations to the impacts of climate change. According to the Global Climate Risk Index 2013, as a result of global warming and an unusual weather pattern, every year Bangladesh becomes the worst victim of natural calamities causing massive loss of lives and extensive damage to flora & fauna.
In a country plagued by scarce resources, it is imperative that the best use is made of resources prior to program formulation. APON’s programs are preceded by extensive research, survey and planning.
