Qui sommes-nous
Moanoghar is a non-political and socio-educational and development organization, located in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) of Bangladesh. Moanoghar was founded in 1974 by a group of Buddhist monks. It was founded to provide care and education to the poor, destitute children from the region.
Moanoghar´s mission is to work with the poor and marginalized indigenous people of the Chittagong Hill Tracts. Moanoghar works to provide formal education, vocational training, health services and support for the overall socio-economic development of its students in the area and of the wider community. In addition to these priorities, Moanoghar aspires to promote and preserve indigenous culture and to act as a symbol of communal harmony to the wider community.
