The ARCF is a non-government, non-profitable, non-political, voluntary, and charitable organization wishing to impact and change peoples’ lives towards sustainable self-reliance, influencing people not to lose hope but to step up & claim their place and space in all spheres of life through information, empowerment, skills development and providing the necessary resources and mentorship. Our focus is to mobilize communities towards sustainable and responsible development. At ARCF we believe in transformation from poverty to hope, obstacles to opportunities, and from oppression to triumph. At ARCF we celebrate the rich diversity of our country and praise many individuals and organizations who steadfastly remained committed to the breaking of the cycle of marginalization and poverty in Bangladesh.

 

“Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice. Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great. You can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom.”

- Nelson Mandela
