The Human Development Foundation Bangladesh

The Human Development Foundation Bangladesh (HDF) is a leading national organization committed to providing sexual, reproductive, and general health services to women, men, adolescents, and children. We offer capacity-building training to both government and NGO service providers and advocate for the establishment of sexual and reproductive health and rights across Bangladesh.

HDF is uniquely authorized by the Government of Bangladesh to operate within public hospitals. Currently, we provide comprehensive SRH services and capacity development support through training and education programs across 35 service centers in 20 districts of Bangladesh. Our presence includes 13 centers in Public Medical College Hospitals, eight in Public General Hospitals, eight Community Clinics, one Maternity Clinic, five Satellite Clinics, and one Vocational Training Center (VTC) outside government premises. Through these centers, HDF reaches a vast population across Bangladesh, providing essential reproductive and primary health care services to approximately 600,000 men, women, adolescents, and children annually.

OUR GOAL

We are called by God to "defend the cause of the Fatherless" (Isaiah 1:17), and our purpose.

Our goal is to improve the sexual and reproductive health of women and adolescents in Bangladesh by implementing specialized training programs. We aim to build a skilled workforce to provide better services, aligning our efforts with the Government of Bangladesh’s National Health Program. This includes reducing maternal mortality and morbidity, and addressing other sexual and reproductive health challenges in the country.
