About Us
A movement of empathy
and action.
A youth led, government registered non profit committed to lasting change for the underprivileged. Empowering lives through education, healthcare, livelihoods and climate resilience across Bangladesh and beyond.
Compassion that acts,
since 2010.
Founded in 2010, OBHIZATRIK Foundation began as a small volunteer led initiative driven by a simple yet powerful belief that compassion, when organised, can transform lives. What started as a group of young dreamers distributing winter clothes and supporting street children has evolved into a nationally recognised youth led development organisation.
Today, OBHIZATRIK is government registered in Bangladesh and Portugal, committed to addressing poverty, education, healthcare, nutrition, human rights and environmental sustainability. We empower people through integrated programmes that focus on youth development, climate resilience and helping communities overcome social and economic barriers.
From providing free education and emergency medical support to offering relief aid and promoting self employment, every initiative aims to build a stronger and more self reliant society.
Our journey reflects the spirit of Bangladesh's young generation creative, resilient, and deeply connected to community wellbeing.
What drives us, and where we are going.
Programme Strategy 2026 to 2030. A forward looking framework grounded in fifteen years of learning, community trust, and youth leadership.
Our Vision
"An inclusive and resilient society where young people and communities lead change through compassion, innovation, and collective action."
A Bangladesh where every young person and community can realise their potential, live with dignity and purpose, and contribute to a more equitable and sustainable world.
Our Mission
"To empower youth and communities to co-create inclusive solutions that advance social justice, climate resilience, and digital innovation."
Through learning, partnerships, and compassionate leadership, we build systems that enable lasting impact and collective wellbeing across Bangladesh's evolving development ecosystem.
Our Purpose
"To transform compassion into action, enabling young people to become catalysts for social good."
We strengthen youth leadership as a national force for social transformation, promote community driven innovation that uplifts lives and livelihoods, and build resilient systems that protect both people and the planet.
Four interlinked pillars shaping the next five years.
Each priority represents a key pathway through which OBHIZATRIK Foundation will translate its mission into measurable social impact, building on proven strengths in youth leadership, volunteerism, and community partnership.
Six commitments that shape every action.
Both moral compass and operational framework for the 2026 to 2030 strategy period.
Compassion at the Core
Compassion is the heart of our work. It drives every decision, every partnership, every initiative. We believe development rooted in empathy creates the trust and solidarity needed for lasting impact.
Youth Leadership & Participation
We believe in the power of youth as changemakers. By nurturing leadership, civic engagement, and volunteerism, we transform potential into purpose.
Inclusion & Equity
Every initiative is designed to ensure no one is left behind. We promote gender equality, disability inclusion, and social justice as integral components of human development.
Innovation & Learning
We continuously adapt, test, and refine our approaches. By integrating digital tools, social entrepreneurship, and creative problem solving, we stay responsive to emerging challenges.
Partnership & Collaboration
Meaningful change requires collective effort. We build bridges between communities, government, private sector, and development partners to co-create solutions with local ownership.
Accountability & Integrity
We uphold the highest standards of transparency and ethical practice. We value trust and credibility as the foundation for effective relationships with communities, partners, and donors.
