Association for Mass Advancement Network

What Association for Mass Advancement Network does

Association for Mass Advancement Network (AMAN) is a Bangladesh-registered non-profit development organization founded in 1995, headquartered in Mohammadpur, Dhaka, with 51-100 employees. The organization delivers integrated humanitarian aid and poverty-alleviation programs to vulnerable populations, with primary beneficiaries being Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar camps and underprivileged host communities across at least 11 Bangladesh districts including Dhaka, Netrokona, Sylhet, Pabna, Moulvibazar, Cumilla, Tangail, Lalmonirhat, Chapai Nawabganj, and Gazipur. Secondary segments include women and girls receiving vocational training and elderly residents at the AR-ECHO Senior Citizen Home in Hemayetpur, Dhaka.

AMAN's product portfolio comprises 12 distinct programs organized around core service lines: education (Learning Centers, Orphan Support Program), healthcare (Health Post and Diagnostic Center in Cox's Bazar, Health Center Dhaka, free medical camps), seasonal food and relief (Ramadan Food Program, Qurbani Meat Distribution, Winter Relief), emergency response (Korail fire response, flood relief in Sylhet), vocational training (Sewing Machine Distribution via Bibi Hajira Skill Development Center, Electric Rickshaw Distribution), shelter (permanent shelters with solar infrastructure), and elderly care (AR-ECHO Senior Citizen Home). Recent program additions include Climate Action, Ultra Poor Graduation, Advocacy Program, and a 2025 Stipend Program, signaling diversification beyond traditional humanitarian aid.

The organization's revenue model is entirely donations and charitable contributions, sourced from international institutional donors (ECHO, HHRD-UK, One Ummah Charity, Al-Imdaad Foundation, Human Appeal) and individual supporters via direct bank transfer, checks, online payments, mobile banking, and bKash. AMAN holds no proprietary technology platforms and operates a field-based go-to-market model, distributing aid directly to beneficiaries through community centers, refugee camps, schools, and partner venues (UCEP Hesamuddin Technical School, AR-ECHO Senior Citizen Home, Bibi Hajira Skill Development Center).
