The organization is currently facing significant challenges regarding staff retention at the field level while attempting to scale its microfinance operations.
Formed end of 1975 with first development intervention in 1976; registered with the Directorate of Social Welfare in 1977. Founder Executive Director Md. Azadul Kabir Arzoo died 24 Jan 2026; the official site states a successor took over 26 Jan 2026 but does not name them, so chief_executive is left null. The 'At a glance' page showed placeholder values for branch/staff/member counts, so those are null. Secondary sources cite ~53 districts and ~950,000 served but the official site does not confirm these figures, so coverage and members left null.
