SPACE is an acronym which stands Society for People’s Actions in Change & Equity is a Non-Government development organization which has been founded in July 2003 by a group of development professionals who have long experience and expertise in WASH, Public Health & Nutrition, Community Development and Disaster Risks Reduction.
Strong human feelings of founders to underprivileged and deprived children, adolescent girls and women who suffer from the extreme poverty & hunger, preventable diseases, stunted growth, death of the neonates, infant and <5 children causing lack of awareness & improved practices and required facilities (WASH, foods & nutrition, health care etc). They also realized prevailing gaps between i) People’s needs and implementation; ii) Local contexts and existing technologies; and iii) Existing policies and practices; unequal distribution of resources, class-conflict, gender discrimination and inadequate capacities of the poor communities led the founders in establishing SPACE.
