Economic Empowerment/ অর্থনৈতিক ক্ষমতায়ন, Social Empowerment/ সামাজিক ক্ষমতায়ন, Physical-Mental Well being/ শারীরিক-মানসিক স্বাস্থ্য
Concerned Women for Family Development (CWFD) is a women-led organization. Initially, the programme started with humanitarian projects in 1976. While doing humanitarian work, the management felt the crucial need for Community-Based Distribution (CBD) of Family Planning contraceptives.
Over time, CWFD came to the realization that solely providing maternal health & family planning services would not be sufficient to bring about meaningful changes in the lives of women. It also became apparent that achieving CWFD’s vision would become challenging too. So, gradually the organization diversified its programmes by incorporating development programmes such as Adolescent & Youth, Gender Based Violence, Women Economic Empowerment, General Physical & Mental Health Humanitarian Programmes along with family planning services.
