During our meeting with the boys from the villages of Shobharampur and Ramchandrapur, we discussed a variety of important topics to raise awareness and encourage positive thinking. Prior to the meeting, we had introduced the idea of World Environment Day, and the boys showed genuine interest in the theme.
Nowadays, many children spend most of their time on mobile phones, pay less attention to their parents, and show little interest in their studies. Even bringing the…

June 24–30 | Rural Aid Organization Exposure Visit
Some journeys do more than just show us new places; they teach us to discover something new within ourselves. My exposure visits to the Rural Aid Organization from June 24 to 30 was exactly that kind of experience. The primary objective of this trip was to observe and learn from their long-standing work on the GFC ARC Project—specifically how they work with children, resolve various issues, engage with the community, and foster…

When I joined Alokito Kori for Addressing Root Causes (ARC) initiative as a SALT Facilitator and later started working as a Documentation Officer, I often found myself wondering:
Will the community really take action? How many days will take? Will they initiate change on their own? Will SALT conversations truly lead to something meaningful?
These questions stayed…

During a recent home visit in Alkapur, I met a family whose story changed the way I think about human rights and family life. We often believe that people face difficulties only because of society. However, this visit reminded me that problems within a family can also affect a person's rights and future for many years.
The family migrated from the Nepal–India border area to Pokhara many years ago. After settling there, the parents worked as daily wage laborers and slowly built a…

অভিনব সেচ প্রকল্প: রুহিতের উদ্ভাবনে সহজ হচ্ছে পুষ্টিবাগানের পরিচর্যা।
বুড়িগোয়ালিনী কমিউনিটিতে পুষ্টিবাগান এখন শুধু সবজি চাষের একটি উদ্যোগ নয়; এটি পরিবারের পুষ্টি নিশ্চিত করা, খাদ্য নিরাপত্তা বৃদ্ধি এবং অতিরিক্ত আয়ের একটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ মাধ্যম হিসেবে প্রতিষ্ঠিত হয়েছে। তবে এই সফলতার পথে সবচেয়ে বড় চ্যালেঞ্জগুলোর একটি ছিল শুকনো মৌসুমে সেচের জন্য পর্যাপ্ত পানির ব্যবস্থা করা।
এলাকার অধিকাংশ পুষ্টিবাগান পুকুর বা জলাশয় থেকে কিছুটা দূরে অবস্থিত। ফলে প্রতিদিন প্রয়োজনীয়…

রামিসার ঘটনার পর থেকে কমিউনিটির অধিকাংশ বাবা-মা তাদের মেয়েদের নিরাপত্তা নিয়ে খুবই চিন্তায় থাকে। অনেক অভিভাবক এখন তাদের মেয়েদের একা ঘরের বাইরে যেতে দেন না। খেলাধুলা করা, কারো বাসায় যাওয়া কিংবা বন্ধুদের সাথে সময় কাটানোর নিয়েও তারা চিন্তিত থাকেন।
বিশেষ করে ছোট মেয়েদের নিয়ে বাবা-মায়েদের দুশ্চিন্তা আরও বেশি। এমনকি মায়েরা সন্তানদের স্কুলে নিয়ে গেলেও, স্কুলের বাইরে অপেক্ষা করার সময় শিশুদের নিরাপত্তা নিয়ে তাদের মনে ভয় কাজ করে।
এই পরিস্থিতি বিবেচনা করে ১৩ জুন ২০২৬ তারিখে কমিউনিটিতে টিম…

ম্যাসকুলাইনিটির সহযোগিতায় রেখার স্বপ্ন পুরন।
রেখার স্বপ্নটা খুব বড় কিছু ছিল না—কিন্তু সেই স্বপ্নের ভেতর ছিল তার আত্মসম্মান, স্বাধীনতা আর বেঁচে থাকার সাহস। ছোটবেলা থেকেই সে কল্পনা করত, নিজে একটা কিছু করবে, যেখানে সে নিজের পরিচয়ে দাঁড়াতে পারবে, কারও ওপর নির্ভরশীল না হয়ে।
কিন্তু স্বপ্ন দেখা যত সহজ, তা বাস্তবে রূপ দেওয়া ততটাই কঠিন। জীবনের বাস্তবতায় ছোট্ট একটা কিছু করার মতো সামান্য পুঁজিও রেখার কাছে ছিল না। বিয়ের পর সে স্বামীর সঙ্গে ক্ষেতে, নদীতে দিনরাত অক্লান্ত…

As a facilitator and a member of the Triveni community, I recently witnessed a small but meaningful change in our village.
Our community is marginalized and strongly influenced by patriarchal norms. Women, especially daughters-in-law and younger women, are often expected to remain silent in front of fathers-in-law, elder brothers-in-law, and…

In the soft, gold light of morning in Bhatpara Basa, a steady figure appears on the road — slow in pace but firm in purpose. This is Dadu Lakshminath Chik Baraik. At 78 he moves with the gentle strength of a pillar rooted in the earth: stooped by age but unwavering in spirit. He does not stride out for ceremony or acclaim. His journey is simple, quiet, and priceless — he walks to deliver food to a friend in the hospital.…
