Background of Establishment
Historically, Habigonj is one of the most under developed part of Bangladesh, where poverty, illiteracy, un-consciousness, child and maternal mortality, early marriage, denial of rights, school drop-out rate, un- employment rate, violence on women, trafficking and different form of discrimination always stands at a higher level. Considering this unexpected reality some educated & energetic youth felt the need to do some things for these people. From this felt need, they organized a series of discussion with different interested and positive part of the society and finally decided to establish Association for Socio Economic Development as a change facilitator of these under developed and under privileged people. As a result ASED started to function from January 1991, till then ASED is working as an organization for the people and of the people of Bangladesh.
