Mission Statement of Nari Mukto Kontho Samajkallyan Songstha (NMKSS) Nari Mukto Kontho Samajkallyan Songstha (NMKSS) exists to uplift the voices, rights, and livelihoods of Bangladesh's most overlooked citizens-especially women, children, and minority communities who, despite their rightful citizenship, remain excluded from recognition, opportunity, and dignity. Our mission is rooted in the belief that sustainable development must begin with inclusion, equity, and empowerment at the grassroots level. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Dinajpur District, NMKSS is a women-led, community-driven organization that works to dismantle systemic barriers faced by vulnerable populations-particularly those living in poverty, affected by gender-based violence, or belonging to ethnic groups that are historically marginalized. We recognize that many of these communities, though legally citizens of Bangladesh, are denied access to basic services, social recognition, and economic mobility. NMKSS is committed to changing that reality. Our mission is to create a more just and inclusive society by empowering underrepresented groups through education, healthcare, legal literacy, behavioral transformation, and sustainable livelihoods. We work at the intersection of social justice and community development, guided by the principles of dignity, equity, and local ownership. Our Core Focus Areas: - Empowering Women and Girls We believe that women are the backbone of resilient communities. NMKSS provides vocational training in tailoring, handicrafts, ICT, and mobile servicing, alongside entrepreneurship and financial literacy programs. We support the formation of women-led cooperatives and self-help groups (SHGs) that foster savings, credit access, and collective agency. Special attention is given to widows, single mothers, and adolescent girls at risk of early marriage or exploitation. - Supporting Children's Education and Well-being We establish non-formal learning centers in underserved areas, distribute school supplies, and conduct parent awareness sessions to improve literacy and school attendance among children aged 5-16. Our programs also include nutrition support and psychosocial care, ensuring that children not only attend school but thrive in safe, nurturing environments. - Promoting Health and Behavioral Change NMKSS organizes health camps focused on maternal, child, and adolescent care. We conduct menstrual hygiene management workshops and nutrition campaigns to improve community health outcomes. Importantly, we work with families to address harmful behaviors-such as alcohol dependency-and guide them toward healthier, more stable lifestyles through counseling, livelihood support, and peer engagement. - Preventing Gender-Based Violence (GBV) We offer legal aid, referral services, and psychosocial support for survivors of GBV. Our community-based anti-GBV groups engage men, youth, and religious leaders in shifting harmful norms and promoting gender equality. Legal literacy campaigns empower women to understand and assert their rights, while baseline and end-line surveys help us track impact and adapt strategies. - Serving Marginalized Ethnic and Minority Communities NMKSS works closely with small ethnic groups and disenfranchised citizens-those who are Bangladeshi by birth but often denied recognition or access to services. We provide targeted support in education, livelihood, and legal inclusion, and advocate for their visibility in local governance and development planning. Our work includes distributing goats for income generation, food relief during floods, and skill development for unemployed youth from minority backgrounds. - Building Local Leadership and Sustainability We strengthen community-based organizations (CBOs) and train local youth as peer educators and facilitators. Our sustainability strategy includes linking SHGs with microfinance institutions, partnering with local government bodies, and embedding monitoring and evaluation systems that ensure transparency and long-term impact. NMKSS believes that true change is only possible when communities lead their own development. Our Approach NMKSS combines grassroots action with strategic partnerships. We collaborate with the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs, local government offices, and civil society actors to scale our impact. Our programs are designed with built-in risk mitigation strategies, including contingency budgeting, emergency preparedness, and community engagement to address social resistance. We prioritize data-driven decision-making through monthly progress reports, quarterly stakeholder reviews, and annual external evaluations. Our tools include attendance sheets, beneficiary tracking forms, and mobile-based monitoring systems. Our Vision for the Future We envision a Bangladesh where every woman and child-regardless of ethnicity, income, or social status-can live with dignity, opportunity, and hope. A society where minority communities are not just acknowledged but celebrated, and where grassroots leadership drives inclusive development. At NMKSS, women and children are not passive recipients of aid-they are agents of transformation. We strive to build a future where their voices shape policy, their skills fuel the economy, and their resilience inspires generations.
