After our first initiative we are really enthusiastic for our future endeavors as very recently we participated in a workshop based on “Theater for Differently Able” which is funded by British Council Bangladesh along with an expert from U.K, Jeany Sealy who herself is a deaf and also one of the organizers of London Paralympics. We are hopeful as the entire project is entitled with “A different Shakespeare” and all the actors and actresses are differently able being deaf or physically immovable and it was neither a barrier nor limitation from being in performing arts in terms of being deaf and wheel chair users, losing any part of limbs but at the end being able to express in the way you are and this time the maximum participants were selected from BRIDGE foundation.

Mission Vision & Values

Vision is a world where everyone has fullness of life; a life lived with dignity, free from poverty and need; where global resources are equitably shared and sustainable used; and where the voice and agency of the poor and marginalized are fully realized.

Everyone is equal, yet we live in a world where the scandal of poverty, inequality and injustice persists. We act as a platform for people to respond in practical ways to create opportunities for income generation; to explore opportunities for the deaf and mute artists; to provide support in terms of creating opportunities; and to work for sustainable and long-lasting change.

We are a for profit organization, and a wide network of trusted partnerships with organizations across the world who hold the same values. We bear witness, amplifying the voice of the marginalized and using our global presence to create a movement of people who passionately champion dignity, equality and justice for all.

We believe that if we could establish and set up along with a respected and established as well as internationally reputed organization for building capacity for the Differently Abled community as we have already proven that in the sector of voluntary association and organizations as an effective partner. We want to see it as a platform for the deaf and mute artists and not only within the country but also all around the world.
