Alor Pothe Social Organisation, a centre for Rural Development, is a Bangladeshi, local, non-political, non-profit organization. It dedicated to the socio-economic development of the poor specially the oppressed & exploited women folk in Bangladesh. It aims to mobilize the poor to form grassroots level organizations that could become involved in the development process and eventually challenge the unequal rural social order. We believes that the personal and institutional capacity building can explore and invent human potentialities to mobilize and manage resources for improving their quality of life so that they can establish sustainable and justifiable society.

Description of Programme Activities

• Village based Micro-institution Building
One of the key elements of developing the poor mass is organising them in small groups and mobilise them to fight injustices, inequalities, disparity and unjust social structure. The formations of groups enhance solidarity, coherence, understanding & beliefs mutual economic development, education, employment opportunities, social justice and empowerment of women through respectable position in the society. These micro institutions are the basis of implementing all development programs . In the second phase broader organizations are formed with these grassroots level small groups of the poor people.

• Human Resource Development Program
Human Resource Development by providing training, workshop, seminars and other educational activities, aimed at making people more resourceful. It is an essential element for investing people in order to develop their capacity and capability to access & manage resources, concretization of people, and building of their institution. It is a major key component of programs which threads together all its activities to make them an integrated whole. Since the problem of poverty in Bangladesh is structural in nature, any development action should attempt to bring about a change in the prevailing unjust social structures. In view of this reality, the Human Resource Development programmes  cover a wide range of intertwined social issues and practical skill themes reflecting all the
programmes.
