OfP
Oasis for Posterity · Registered NGO, Bangladesh
We're a community-led NGO working in rural Bangladesh, opening doors in education, health, livelihoods and sustainability for families who rarely get first pick of any of them.
We stand by you
Every program starts the same way, community dialogues identify needs, then building toward it together.
Our mission
Self-reliant communities.
Shared prosperity.
Since 2009, OfP has grown from a personally funded effort by founder Rotarian M Rabiul Islam into a registered not-for-profit working in rural Bangladesh, guided by a governing body and a circle of local and international advisers.

Real change happens when people use their own skills and resources to shape their own solutions.
Trust is earned. Everything we do is built on being transparent about our work and our impact.
Where we work
Our work is based in Jaldhaka, one of six sub-districts of Nilphamari, in Bangladesh's Rangpur division — an area long affected by seasonal famine known locally as monga. In one survey of 850 families in a single village, 60% were getting by on less than $2.50 a day.
Our base is in Balagram, within Jaldhaka Upazila, Nilphamari. Open in Google Maps →
