Eco-Social Development Organization (ESDO) started its journey in 1988 with a noble vision to stand in solidarity with the poor and marginalized. Being a people-centered organization, ESDO envisioned a society free from inequality and injustice, where no child will cry from hunger and no life will be ruined by poverty. Over nearly three decades of relentless efforts, ESDO has embraced new grounds and opened up new horizons to help disadvantaged and vulnerable people bring meaningful and lasting changes in their lives. During this long span, ESDO has adapted to the changing situation and provided the most time-bound services, especially for the poor and disadvantaged. A community-focused and people-centered approach has been adapted by ESDO while considering national policy and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as its guiding principle.
