Drishtipat is formed as an Internet based activist organization
of the expatriate Bangladeshis for providing assistance
to the victims of human rights violation in Bangladesh.
The mission of Drishtipat is to be very proactive in creating
a mass awareness in Bangladeshi community, causing a pressure
on the authorities and to provide logistic support to
help and/or rehabilitate the victims of a specific case
of human rights abuse.

during their free time. We do 2/3 projects every year
with help in implementation from Dhaka based organizations.
