Welcome to the SAMAHAR Women and Child Development Society the Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) of Bangladesh. SAMAHAR Women and Child Development Society started its mission in 1993 with the aims to improve the life quality of the people living at the bottom of the socio-economic pyramid and establish a society free from poverty and economic disparity.
Initially, SAMAHAR programs focused at awareness-raising and group formation for the poor aiming at integrated development through asserting rights of the poor, education, mini-irrigation, primary healthcare, credit for income generation etc. Later based on a decade of grassroots experience, it was realized that micro lending might serve as the most effective tool in fighting poverty in Bangladesh. The realization was transformed into a reality in 2005. Since then, through its innovative, cost-effective and sustainable microfinance approach, it achieved the status of the most efficient MFI in the Bangladesh.
Presently, SAMAHAR Women and Child Development Society renders multifaceted services to more than 50 thousand people of Bangladesh. Besides microfinance program, the organization has been operating quite a number of non-financial programs counting Primary Healthcare, Education, Health Awareness, Sanitation, Hygiene, Agricultural aids etc. out of its own resources. thousands of poor and underprivileged are benefited as a result of these initiatives. Currently, nearly more than fifty thousand people of Bangladesh are deriving benefit from the services and activities of SAMAHAR.
