Socio-Economic Development Association for Disabled (SEDAD) has started its journey to the development path from 1st January 1992 and crossed 26 years of its development. Though there were lots of limitations and problems during the last twenty years, the activities have not been stopped but continued its development efforts with own speed, where there were success and failures also. In the mean time, new thoughts and ideas have been introduced in our development interventions and created new innovative sustainable ideas. The demand and expectations of the people however have changed with the march of creative world leaving previous thoughts and expectations, which resulted innovation and addition of new development techniques.

I have been working hard entirely to turn the disabled and destitute people into useful human resources and to spread their inner heart fully
through increasing their fullest participation in development process.
Empowerment of the poor and participation of the women side by side of their
male partners are the precondition of our development process.
Type Text Here SEDAD is giving special priority for the deafblind peopls. Since the year 2000, it has been working as national and association of World federation of Deafblind (WFDB). Deafblindness is a disability that combines varying degrees of both hearing and visual impairment. Most of the leaning and experience we get through our eyes and ears. Deafblind are the people who have no eyes and ear power. All deafblind experience extreme challenges with communication and mobility and most have additional physical and medical conditions. Persons with deafblindness face neglect and discrimination owing to their inability to communicate and relate to the world. They are thus denied even the basic human rights like education, medical care, amongst other needs that are taken for granted by most of us. There is very little awareness about deafblindness amongst the government, general public and other NGOs working in the area of disability. Due to this situation many deafblind children and adults are left without support and even considered severely mentally retarded incorrectly. What most people do not know is that deafblind children and adults can become active members of society if provided with the right care and support. This organization more than five hundred deaf blind member, associate and beneficiaries.

Policy and Rural Development Project :
It is seeking to develop an inclusive project based on rural area. The objective of this project is to develop an end-to-end system for water management. As affordable clean drinking water in Bangladesh is scarce due to the high cost of filtration by 2050, water availability is expected to drop by about 54%. SEDAD have therefore identified a significant opportunity to develop a new technology solution to supply affordable drinking water to low-income communities. It aims to further develop filtration technology, water harvesting technologies including rainwater and water waste management. SEDAD has done work for treatment installations in rural and urban areas across Bangladesh, reaching more than 1.2 million people. In order to build on this experience, SEDAD believes that there is a high probability of breaking even in the long term, and has therefore invested in a pilot program to test this time frame. The development impact of this venture will help SEDAD make their technologies more efficient and reach scale faster. By 2015, the objective is for SEDAD to increase their reach from.2 million consumers to 8 million. This is essential to health in lower income areas as clean water reduces infant mortality, diseases and stunted growth. This helps increase earnings by reducing loss of working hours due to water-borne diseases and can, at times, save people from severe conditions such as arsenic sis.The Business Innovation Facility aims to assist this venture by helping SEDAD assess the market for water treatment, provide data driven design inputs for technology development, facilitate partnership with large multinational corporations for technology partnership, support pilot implementation and produce final reports capturing lessons learnt and next steps.

In the meantime, SEDAD has successfully completed
over 26 years of its development interventions in the field of rehabilitation
and education of the persons with disability. During the period of 26 years the
organization had to confront various odd situations and obstacles in the
pursuits of its activities. This specified information / report is an honest
and modest effort to publicize all its attempts undertaken to survive as a
development of the disabled persons and the progress made in the period of
reporting. So the report at its present
form provides a momentary view of the organization’s own profile and its
involvement, experiences, lessons learnt, obstacles faced with etc during the
implementation of the concerned programs.
