Welcome to ROSA – Rural Organisations for Social Affairs!
Who We Are
Rural Organisations for Social Affairs (ROSA) is a premier non-governmental and non-profit development organization established in 1992. Dedicated to eradicating rural poverty and malnutrition, ROSA has been actively engaged in driving sustainable agricultural transformations and grassroots socio-economic empowerment across Bangladesh for over 34 years.

Our Approach
At ROSA NGO, we believe in a holistic, inclusive, and community-driven approach to sustainable development. By seamlessly merging traditional microfinance with innovative, climate-smart farming techniques and cutting-edge digital technology, our interventions are designed to eliminate predatory middlemen, optimize resources, and improve livelihoods. We establish direct market linkages and promote organic, eco-friendly models that guarantee dignity, economic security, and self-reliance for local communities.
ROSA NGO actively collaborates with apex bodies like PKSF, Government Ministries, and innovative private sector partners like GrowUp Agro Tech to maximize field-level impact, amplify financial transparency, and contribute to national development goals.
