A non-political, non-profit grassroots organization dedicated to the socio-economic empowerment of women, children, and the rural poor across Tangail district for over three decades.
Paribar O Shishu Kallayan Kendra (POSKK) is a non-governmental, non-political, non-profit voluntary organization established on July 1, 1991, in Tangail, Bangladesh — in direct response to the felt needs of the local community.
For over three decades, POSKK has built a strong institutional base to serve the most vulnerable: landless farmers, marginalised women, orphaned children, persons with disabilities, and victims of human rights violations.
