Empowering Women and Communities Through Purpose Driven Microfinance

People living in the South Central coastal region of Bangladesh are struggling for survival facing extreme weather around the year due to global climate change. Observing the challenging situation and burning need of the striving people a group of philanthropists led by Mr. Edward Robin Bollove came forward in 2001 to form a local NGO, the Center for Rural Service Society (CRSS), with a commitment to eliminate the suffering of the deprived people and contribute in overall development of Bangladesh. The initial thinking was to work for the vulnerable communities living in the disaster-prone coastal areas of Bangladesh. After working for two decades with glorious achievement, now CRSS feels to expand its working area to other demanding regions and communities of the country, focusing poorly addressed sectoral issues. The journey started from the Barishal division, the southern coastal region of the country, and gradually expanded to other parts.
