Provenance & notes
Founded 1992 by Zahirul Alam (Founder and Executive Director), who earlier assisted Prof. Muhammad Yunus; piloted the Grameen microfinance model in Bandarban with $7,500 seed capital from Grameen Trust. Now headquartered in Mirpur, Dhaka with a regional office in Chittagong; operates in 21 districts with over 135,000 members per the official site. mra_licensed set true as an MRA-licensed MFI / PKSF partner, but the exact MRA certificate number could not be confirmed from a primary regulator source, so registration_ref left null. CAUTION: financial figures circulating online in Indian rupees (idf-finance.in) belong to an unrelated Indian entity and were deliberately excluded; no verified BDT loan portfolio or expenditure found.
