      About Us

      In the 1980s, the Government of Bangladesh felt the need to establish a specialized institution for poverty alleviation through employment generation. After years-long discussions with development partners, different ministries and top development experts, the GoB finally decided to found Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF). This apex development organization formally came into being on 13 November 1989, after the President of Bangladesh approved the proposal. Ever since, PKSF has been working relentlessly to fight poverty and improve lives across the country.    Read More…

      Programs

      The 20 million people that PKSF works with across the country include the extremely poor, ethno-culturally and socio-economically disadvantaged people, and microentrepreneurs. For them, PKSF makes appropriate interventions that are not time-bound. These we officially call ‘programs’. They remain in operation for as long as there is demand in the field. These programs are operated solely with PKSF’s own financing.

      List of Programs  
      Projects

      PKSF’s activities have always been demand-driven. Hence, the nature of its interventions constantly evolves with the changing needs of people. In order to ensure services that are out of the purviews of its programs, PKSF takes up tailor-made projects with specific objectives. Various development partners co-finance such projects that usually have a specific duration.

Enrich

Special Event to Celebrate ‘Mujib Year’ & Golden Jubilee of Independence

With the entire nation, Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF) too is celebrating the birth centenary of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and 50 years of Bangladesh’s Independence.

As part of the vast range of activities, PKSF organized a virtual meeting on 16 March 2021 to announce the names of winners who, from several parts of the country, participated in the competitions on A. writing poems, B. writing essays/stories, C. painting, and D. contribution of youths to social services (individual/collective). All themes of the competition excepting category D focused on the life and leadership of Bangabandhu and his contribution to the emergence of Bangladesh.

Enrich

This nation-wide competition was planned, led and conducted by the officials of the ENRICH program of PKSF in collaboration with the Partner Organizations (POs). The key intent of the competition (held from November to December 2020) was to create academic and practical interest about Bangabandhu and the Liberation War of 1971 and infuse patriotism and social commitment among some 2.5 lakh youths, who form a strategic part of ENRICH, in 202 Unions across the country.

Presided over by PKSF Chairman Dr Qazi Kholiquzzaman Ahmad, the event was moderated by Dr Md Jashim Uddin, Deputy Managing Director of PKSF, who delivered the welcome speech and later announced the names of the winners.

A total of 41 (21 females and 20 males) out of 8,820 competitors in 4 categories and 4 groups (for collective contribution to society) were adjudged winners by members of the competent jury boards. The winners expressed their feelings during the event. Two members of the PKSF General Body, who also are the Executive Directors of two POs, Dr Md Shahid-uz-Zaman (Eco-Social Development Organization) and Dr Humaira Islam (Shakti Foundation) delivered speeches as selected discussants.

Three members of the PKSF Governing Body namely, Ambassador Mr Munshi Faiz Ahmad, Ms Nazneen Sultana (former Deputy Governor of Bangladesh Bank) and Ms Parveen Mahmud (Chairperson, UCEP Bangladesh) took part in the discussion.

Around 350 individuals, including PKSF Board members, senior officials, ENRICH team members, Executive Directors and members of PKSF’s POs, and the winners of the competition joined the event, which was livestreamed on the PKSF Facebook.
