Description/notes
The Kothowain organization (Vulnerable People’s Development Organization) was established in 2003 by some social development activists in response to the issues of extreme poverty, low literacy rate, social and political conflict, eroding cultural identity, and high incidence of human rights violations among the indigenous peoples in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh. The organization aims to develop the socio-economic conditions of the most vulnerable and underprivileged people in the Hill Tracts. (website)
