Who we are
A national, non-political humanitarian and development organisation, working across Bangladesh since 2007.
Integrated Development Forum (IDF) began in 2007 as a small group of volunteers who saw a need and met it. Nearly two decades on, it works in all 64 districts of Bangladesh. We run clinics and hand pumps, sponsor orphans, feed families through Ramadan and Qurbani, and reach people the moment a flood or cold snap hits.
The work is funded by Zakat and Sadaqah, by individual donors, and by partners across the UK, Europe, Australia, the Gulf, and the Government of Bangladesh. What ties it together is a simple aim: help people become self-reliant, with dignity.
