NETZ Bangladesch

NETZ is a non-profit and independent association based in Germany that has been committed to improving the lives of people in Bangladesh since 1979. The association works in partnership with organizations in Bangladesh, India, and Nepal to build self-help structures and promote sustainable social change.

• Education: NETZ supports the education of children, adolescents, and adults in Bangladesh, particularly through the project "ClassroomGlobal," which promotes school partnerships between Germany and Bangladesh and ensures that all children can exercise their right to education[3][4].
• Nutrition and Health: The association focuses on combating hunger and malnutrition, especially among the poorest segments of the population. NETZ improves nutrition and health through targeted projects and self-help initiatives.
• Human Rights: NETZ advocates for human rights, particularly women's rights and access to the legal system. The association provides a platform for the voices of the disenfranchised in public, economic, and political spheres[2][3].

The main mission of NETZ is to fight non-violently and constructively for human dignity and human rights. The association stands for justice and solidarity, especially for those living on the margins of society, such as women and minorities. NETZ is based on the values of solidarity, responsibility, and respect and promotes an equal dialogue between partners in Bangladesh and Germany[2].

• Sustainable Development: NETZ works at the grassroots level and promotes projects that are tailored to local needs. This includes supporting village communities, promoting income and schools, and improving nutrition and health[3][4].
• Transparency and Efficiency: The association places great importance on transparency and efficiency. NETZ makes its finances 100% transparent and is audited and certified by the German Central Institute for Social Issues (DZI). This ensures that donations flow directly into the projects and are effective[4].
• Anti-Corruption: NETZ consistently prevents corruption and nepotism in its projects. The association does not pay bribes and limits itself to official fees to ensure the integrity of its work[4].

NETZ works closely with partner organizations in Bangladesh and develops projects in shared responsibility. The commitment also includes the involvement of volunteers and full-time staff, private individuals, groups, church communities, and companies in Germany. Through this partnership work, it is ensured that the projects are long-term and sustainable[2][3].

Through its long-standing and continuous work, NETZ has made a significant contribution to improving living conditions in Bangladesh and continues to strive for a fairer and more sustainable future.
