Since its inception in 1986, POPI has been dedicated to empowering women and communities living in poverty and extreme poverty in Bangladesh. The organization's initial focus was on raising awareness, sensitizing, and organizing women to alleviate poverty through leadership and management skill-building. Over the years, POPI has grown into one of the country's leading NGOs, with a presence in 24 districts. Its services have been highly appreciated by the communities it serves, and the organization remains committed to promoting sustainable development, gender justice, and social harmony. Throughout its long journey, POPI has made a significant impact on the lives of many people, and it continues to work tirelessly towards creating a better future for all.

We understand the needs of the people and challenge the frontiers of poverty through twin facet approach-

• 1. Social Empowerment Sector (SES) Intervention and
• 2. Economic Empowerment Sector (EES) Intervention

We are reaching the poverty frontiers of Bangladesh and extending social and economic development services. We are committed towards human rights and social justice. Our programme areas:

POPI started its journey tackling the significant social concerns both from the practical and strategic purview of community situations and providing awareness and education support among the outreach communities.

POPI observed that when women are empowered many social issues are automatically get addressed like women’s participation in the family and community periphery gets automatically increased. Many of POPI borrowers are now members of Local Government, making the silent revolution in the rural areas. We define our competencies from our long experience and time-tested achievements:

POPI employs based on peoples’ readiness in terms of social and emotional skills. We promote the culture of diversity, and we ensure safeguarding our employees and communities through policies, procedures and incentivising the culture.
