History

RIC Established as a non-government organization in 1981, RIC was founded by a group of distinguished social workers eager to support national development efforts in Bangladesh. Commencing operation with relief, rehabilitation, and financial assistance program for rural women, RIC developed a traditional focus on rural sector development, targeting, in particular, women. Since that time, through innovation, dedication, and hard work, RIC has been able to progress and diversify; to become a national-level NGO active across the country and in many development areas.

Today, RIC has thousands of employees and is able to mobilize many more volunteers to achieve development goals; from the isolated islands of the Bay of Bengal to poverty-stricken neighborhoods in the heart of the capital city, RIC has established a solid reputation based on the achievement of tangible development outcomes. Working together with minority ethnic groups, working children and their guardians, the poor, the landless or the elderly, to name a few of the groups our projects have assisted; and through the formation of strategic alliances and partnerships with all levels of government, donor agencies, other NGOs and stakeholders, RIC has been able to realize its goal of facilitating development for Bangladesh and Bangladeshis.
