Prelude
|
SPACE envisages that the transformation of
the existing realities of life is a process, and in the context of Bangladesh,
social inequalities, disparities, inconsistencies, violation of
rights, deprivation
is intrinsic to this process, so, instead of absorbing it further, it is prudent to
address the process to change the course as of the need. This may seems to be a ‘dream’,
however, a relentless effort may take the organization as close as possible to the ‘dream’. |

Vision |
|
SPACE strongly believe that social change is feasible if insights are gained and effective efforts are taken, which may begin in a micro level. |

Approaches
|
SPACE is fully aware of the fact that real strengths for any
social change lie with the community members and if the people
participate actively in the process and support the changewith
their initiatives and resources. Therefore, the approach of SPACE
is to facilitate people’s initiatives and ensure their participation
in programs, while SPACE will be with them, within them and one of them.
Household based facilities will be the key-approach of SPACE.The rationale
for adopting such approach is the assumption that the existing community
options and facilities are used by all segments of inhabitants of rural
areas in which poorer sections are constrained in accessing facilities
compare to resourcefuls. In this context, if the resourceful are made
self-reliant, then the community facilities will be left to use for the poor.
Further, if the facilities are own by households, then they may maintain it,
use on a regular basis, help avoid physical hazards caused when options at a
distant place is used and lastly, it would ensure privacy. |

Source of finance
|
| |
The ultimate goal of SPACE is to be self-reliant. However, as it is yet to be achieved, limited financial assistance from national and international development partners are included in the program. SPACE is seeking new development partners to expand its network that would facilitate expansion of programs in new areas. |
