ATA works with people whose lives are dominated by extreme poverty, illiteracy, disease and other handicaps. With multifaceted development interventions, ATA strives to bring about positive change in the quality of life of the poor people of Bangladesh.



ATA firmly believes and is actively involved in promoting human rights, dignity and gender equity through poor people`s social, economic, political and human capacity building. Although the emphasis of ATA`s work is at the individual level, sustaining the work of the organization depends on an environment that permits the poor to break out of the cycle of poverty and hopelessness. To this end, ATA endeavours to bring about change at the level of national and global policy on poverty reduction and social progress. ATA is committed to making its programmes socially, financially and environmentally sustainable, using new methods and improved technologies. As a part of its support to the programme participants and its financial sustainability, ATA is also involved in various income generating enterprises.



The fulfillment of ATA`s mission requires the contribution of competent professionals committed to the goals and values of ATA. ATA, therefore, fosters the development of the human potential of the members of the organization and those they serve.



In order to achieve its goal, wherever necessary, ATA welcomes partnerships with the community, like-minded organizations, governmental institutions, the private sector and development partners both at home and aboard.
