"Bangladesh is not a poor country by tradition and instead is a treasure trove for agricultural and human potential." Established in 1988 by a dedicated cohort of grassroots social activists led by Moral Noor Mohammad, RUSTIC addresses the acute nexus of climate shocks, riverbank erosion, salinity intrusion, and under-employment.
Our model merges community self-reliance with scientific innovations: from pioneering domestic biogas digesters and municipal kitchen waste composting in Khulna City Corporation to industrial rooftop rainwater harvesting with WaterAid.
Systematic, community-owned development interventions executed in accordance with national policies and global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
