Who we are
A bridge between people in need and the help that exists
Setu Bondhon Foundation is a non-profit, non-political voluntary organisation from Narail, Bangladesh. We work with disadvantaged families on education, health, livelihood, gender equality, culture and climate resilience — always together with the community, never on its behalf.
- Non-profit, non-political and non-communal
- Registered with the Department of Social Services
- A receipt for every donation and audited accounts
- Beneficiaries selected transparently by local committees
What we do
Six programs, one purpose
Our work is organised into six programmes. A single family may be reached by more than one of them, because poverty, illness, education and climate are never separate problems.
Culture keeps a community together; character keeps it moving forward.

Cultural learning, sports, youth leadership and life-skills training that build confidence, values and a sense of belonging.

Our beginning
Message from the Founder
Setu Bondhon Foundation began with a simple conviction: that the distance between a family in need and the help that already exists is often only a bridge away — a form, a piece of information, a training course, a doctor, or someone willing to stand beside them on their worst day.
We started in the villages of Narail with a handful of volunteers, a register and very little money. What we had instead was the trust of our neighbours, and that trust is still the most valuable asset on our balance sheet.
I invite you to walk with us. Give your time, your skill or your support — and let us keep building bridges together.
