Our Activities
At the Poverty Development Project (PDP), our commitment to sustainable development and poverty eradication is reflected in a wide range of impactful activities that touch the lives of countless individuals and families. As a non-profit, community-based organization, our core objective is to uplift the underprivileged by addressing the root causes of poverty through structured, inclusive, and sustainable initiatives. Our activities are designed to empower people economically, socially, and educationally, enabling them to lead dignified lives.
One of our most prominent initiatives is the Microcredit Loan Program, which offers small loans to individuals—particularly women and low-income earners—to start or expand income-generating activities. These loans are provided without collateral, with flexible repayment options, and are used for small businesses, agriculture, livestock, and other productive ventures. Through this service, we help individuals build self-reliance and reduce dependency on high-interest moneylenders.
Another key area of activity is our Women Entrepreneur Loan program. We believe that empowering women is central to community development. Through targeted financial support and business training, we help women start tailoring shops, food stalls, handicraft businesses, and other small enterprises. This not only provides income but also strengthens their role in the household and society.
In rural and agrarian regions, our Agricultural Loan program supports farmers with the capital they need to purchase seeds, fertilizers, irrigation tools, and machinery. We also offer guidance on sustainable farming practices, which helps increase productivity and ensure food security.
Education is another critical area of focus. Our Education Loan service provides support to low-income families so that children and youth can continue their studies without interruption. We fund school supplies, tuition fees, uniforms, and even vocational training. By supporting education, we invest in the long-term development of the community.
We also provide Housing Loans to help families build, repair, or expand safe and sanitary living conditions. A decent home provides not only shelter but also stability, security, and better health outcomes. Our housing loans are tailored to meet the unique challenges of each family, whether they live in rural villages or urban slums.
Our Health Loan program helps families deal with medical emergencies and chronic illnesses by covering expenses such as hospital bills, surgery, and medicines. We firmly believe that no one should be denied medical care due to financial hardship.
PDP is also involved in raising community awareness on topics such as hygiene, nutrition, disaster preparedness, climate change, women’s rights, and social justice. We conduct workshops, door-to-door campaigns, and community meetings to encourage positive behavioral change.
Beyond financial services, we engage in skill development training, especially for youth and women. These include sewing, handicraft making, farming techniques, small business management, and computer literacy. Such training programs increase employment opportunities and provide alternative sources of income.
We also run community welfare projects such as tree planting, clean water initiatives, and sanitation improvement in villages. These activities are aimed at improving the overall quality of life while promoting environmental sustainability.
In every activity we undertake, PDP ensures community involvement, transparency, and accountability. Our model is people-centric, and we believe real change comes from within the community itself. By empowering individuals with resources, knowledge, and opportunities, we aim to build a society where poverty is not a barrier, but a challenge that can be overcome together.
