GRAUS is committed to move forward by continuing its mission of improving the quality of the life of the poorest and underprivileged people in its area of operation.

GRAUS has been working to expand its programme in Bandarban Hill District. The following points highlight the future that GRAUS intends to work for the improvement of its beneficiaries and close cooperation with the stakeholders.

• Development of Ethnic people’s languages and culture; introduction of mother language education into the primary education curriculum in the region.
• Development of sustainable agriculture in line with the traditional methods and modern environment friendly technology.
• Preservation of traditional medicine plants and herbs for encouraging the traditional herbal medicine to thrive alongside modern medicine.
• Empowerment of women for a dynamic growth of the community: committed to concerted action to ensure equal rights for women to achieve “equality, development and peace”, furthering the advancement of women.
• Ensuring child rights and empowerment of the youth.
• Work for disaster risk reduction, WASH and environmental sustainability.

With the rapidly changing natural environment in the hills, GRAUS has taken up a process of organizational development by reviewing its long-term objectives and strategy in terms of outreaching the communities and like-minded organizations. This when implemented fully will further improve its organizational and project implementation skills and services for the greater benefit of the Ethnic people in the region.
