Project Overview

Anandalok Trust for Education and Development is implementing the Bangladesh America Maitree Project as a sub-grantee of BRAC to promote quality and equitable pre-primary and primary education for marginalized children. The project is being implemented in Pirgacha and Kaunia Upazilas of Rangpur District with a strong focus on community participation and parental engagement.
