The aim of ALWO is to improve the socioeconomic condition of poverty trapped people living in the far-flung villages of Bangladesh. It’s a known fact that lack of employment opportunities coupled with resource constraint make the poor people stay within the fold of extreme poverty where they are   unable to make both  ends meet.

Rural poor people have a higher dependency ratio, little formal education and fewer marketable skills. Their access to resources is limited.  Concerted action is required from the government as well as the development agencies to bring about tangible qualitative changes in the lives of the rural poor.

It is also a fact that the poor men and women are frequently subject of wage discrimination particularly women are not only deprived of equal right and status with men but they are also victim of physical humiliation, oppression, abuse and violence.

In this context ACCESS TOWARD LIVELIHOOD and WELFARE ORGANISATION (ALWO) believes that socioeconomic development of the target audience i. e women could only be achieved through involving them in the process of development activities organizing them on their felt needs and raising their awareness on those issues that touch them.
