Who We Are

Chhinnamukul Bangladesh is a non-government, non-profit organization based in Kurigram. Its roots go back to the 1974 famine response and it became an independent Bangladeshi organization in January 2001, achieving full separation from Terre des hommes in February 2007.

We work in Kurigram, Lalmonirhat and Rangpur to improve access to education, health, nutrition, livelihoods, women empowerment and climate resilience.
