A Journey with P.R.I.D.E

I was greatly inspired by my visit to Bangladesh to help support a small NGO called PRIDE Foundation (Peoples Resources In Developmental Enterprises). The Rabo Bank of the Netherlands and the Vrije University of Amsterdam supports this organisation. The goal of PRIDE is to help poor farmers around the world support themselves. This is achieved by having leaders and organisers, who grew up in desperately poor circumstances of subsistence farming, talk to the farmers and set-up projects that will meet the specific challenges they face. The clients must be living hand to mouth, have small or no land or capital, poor communication skills, be technologically badly served by existing institutions and be of low social status.

Pride is currently established in Bangladesh with proposals for establishment elsewhere in the developing world. The people I met from the director to the poor farmers themselves were truly inspiring and exemplify the heart and intelligence that Motivation Partnership is proud to support.

With Pride
