An Aifo India project in Bangladesh.The Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) comprised of three hill districts. The region lies in the south-eastern part of Bangladesh. Unlike all other regions of Bangladesh the armed conflicts of the past decades have severely restricted the activities of NGOs in the CHT. The Prabatya Buddha Mission (PBM) was established in 1993 with aim at highlighting socio-economic and education conditions of the poor classes of poor people of the CHT. Since its inception PBM has been rendering humanitarian services for the welfare of the poverty stricken peoples, a tradition that continues on today. Tuberculosis is rampant and there are large numbers of patients who are never even diagnosed because of the ineffective health system and no priority for the poor community in health care.
Community organization addresses processes and institutions through which community members participate in the health and development process of the proposed project. Capacity building of the staff, representative of groups, birth attendants and health motivators, and awareness generation of the community through them on the project concept. To develop & aware the community in order to enable disable persons to lead a self-determined life and equally participate in the social and economical activities of their community. Spreading health awareness among the poor community on health including the issue of tuberculosis and leprosy. Networking with the government departments to ensure availability and accessibility of health and other services so as to create gradual dependence on the existing government services and systems and strengthening the existing functions of the primary schools and to link up with local schools for health care and school health education.
