Association for Rural Peoples Advancement (ARPA)

Association for Rural Peoples Advancement (ARPA) is the name of the organization. It is a Non-Profitable, Non-Government, Voluntary and Social Organization for the service of the poor majority of the rural areas of the country.

ARPA has been working relentlessly to reduce poverty since 2010. The north-western districts of the country are poorer than the other districts. The formal banking sector in our country is developing. But they didn’t provide financial services to the poor. This sector concentrates on large loans to the high-income group, thereby completely excluding the low-income group.

Bangladesh is a poverty-stricken country and the main causes of poverty is its overpopulation, unemployment’s, lack of education and awareness and finally, socio-political injustices that have caused mass the socio-economic poor condition of the nation.

The main mission of ARPA is to form the organization of the poor, disable, landless, marginalized and indigenous men and women in order to integrate them in the process of socio-economic development ventures for their self-sufficiency and authentic development.
