BAPTIST AID-BBCF

Basic Informations

Baptist Aid-BBCF began in 1993 with child sponsorship and education responding mainly to symptoms of poverty. After getting NGO Registration in 1995, B-Aid started its community development journey with the support of ABW Aid.  Over the time as analysis of complex poverty causes and developmental response concepts changed, then so Baptist Aid-BBCF transitioned to respond to causes of poverty.  Development focus includes a wider set of sustainable livelihood and well-being issues including a more holistic and sustainable mix of social, economic and environmental uplift activities and hoped for longer-term benefits.  A key aim is to achieve a quality of development implementation in partnership with the poor enhancing their genuine participation and empowerment though community capacity building.
