Northern Development Foundation-NDF is a Christian non-profit, non-political, non-sectarian community development organization that has been working in Bangladesh since 1986. Founded upon Christian values and God's universal love for all mankind based, NDF has been committed to serving the most disadvantaged people in the community without any discrimination because of their religion, color, race, caste, or ideology. From the very beginning, NDF’s primary focus has been on the social, economic, and cultural development of the most vulnerable people, particularly, the indigenous communities living in the northern regions of Bangladesh. The people in the project area have been facing a variety of problems such as land grabbing, false cases on land-related issues, land disputes, and lack of access to government services. There has been a gap in understanding their rights and entitlements which has often led to discrimination and injustice in the form of a lack of access to services, fair wages, and livelihood opportunities. The project has contributed in most of these areas. The project has contributed to building community awareness on land rights and land-related documentation, particularly, what documents they should keep and how to preserve key documents that could safeguard their land and uphold their rights.
