To create a sustainable Society

Ensuring safety & security in broader perspective is a core vision of SDI

Dreaming for a prosperous Bangladesh, Self Development Initiative (SDI) was founded on 9th May 2006 with a view to alleviating hunger, poverty and illiteracy as well as to uphold humanity, morality and security. Promoting the unprivileged society towards the light of humanitarian and social development is one of the goals that SDI preserves. It believes that Bangladesh possesses an immense possibility by maintaining its different entity in the race of globalization if sustainable development is ensured for a large amount of people.
