BACHAO is a US-registered non-profit public charity organization formed in Southern California in 2008. The organization is formed to perform a variety of charitable activities in Bangladesh. The primary focus of BACHAO is to promote basic education and health care of underprivileged children in Bangladesh so that they have an opportunity for a better life.BACHAO believes that healthcare and education are the two most important factors to the growth of a child. Our hope is that by providing education and basic healthcare (including preventive immunization) to these underprivileged children, they will grow to become useful member of the society and attain economic independence.

BACHAO identifies projects in the poor neighborhood and villages of Bangladesh where we feel our resources can be most effectively used. BACHAO funds the projects directly or partner with other charitable organizations in Bangladesh who provide charity services consistent with BACHAO’s overall goal. Projects are funded based on their merit and only after they undergo a very thorough vetting process.

We further our purposes under this program by primarily raising money and collecting goods and supplies here and using that to support the charitable activities. The funds disbursed by BACHAO is completely transparent and is used only for activities which have zero overhead, are completely secular and non-political.
