AUTUMN Foundation, a non-profit voluntary organization, distributed warm clothes among approximately 800 people in the Hazaribagn area of Dhaka city. The program was endorsed by the local Ward Commissioner, Ismail Hossain Babu. Md. Ibrahim Khalil (Associate professor and Chairman - Department of Finance and Banking, Dhaka Commerce College) was present at the place and handed out clothes along with the other volunteers.

A fire swept through the Bou Bazaar slum in Hazaribagna area on November, killing at least 11 people, police and officials said. All the dead were children and women. Authorities said the blaze burned some 700 closely packed thatched houses to the ground, rendering several thousand poor people homeless.

AUTUMN Foundation is a registered non-profit voluntary organization governed by enthusiastic young individuals of Bangladesh. The organization’s work revolves around environmental and community development, youth development through engagement. Recently the organization donated relief materials to 250 families in the disaster stricken areas of Hatia, Bangladesh.

Thanks for you concern. It's a shame how a lot of innocent lives were lost due an accident which could have been prevented...

Because of the present economic system, capitalists are becoming more capitalist and poor becoming poorest. National revenue is growing cause of the earning of the richest and capitalist but approximately 82 percent of the country's population lived in rural areas, virtually all of them making their living exclusively or substantially from agriculture. Poverty in Bangladesh is primarily a ’rural phenomenon’, with 53 percent of its rural population classified as poor, comprising about 85 percent of the country’s poor.

Without developing the agriculture, it is quite impossible to develop the country. While the country’s population is growing at the rate of 1.6 percent per year, demographic pressures and increased urbanization have caused cultivated area to decline at a rate of 1 percent per year. Population’s high birth rate is increasing the levels of poverty in Bangladesh. For nearly 45 percent of the rural population, who are already landless or functionally landless (owning less than 0.05 acre of land), and a majority of the new labor force every year, a declining land base and a small urban employment means that employment in the rural non-farm sector presents the best chance to escape poverty.

So please give priorities for Agriculture, ‘Human population control’, Climate Change and Rural Development to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

Bangladesh is also one of the poorest countries in the world. Four out of every 10 people live below the poverty line, according to government data on income, consumption and ability to meet basic human needs.
