Green Hill Bangladesh

Home

Green Hill is a development organization based in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) of Bangladesh. CHT is located to the southeast corner of Bangladesh, comprising an area of 5093 square miles, entirely hilly covered with tropical vegetation and mostly inaccessible. It is divided into three administrative districts (Bandarban, Rangamati, and Khagrachari districts) and is the home to eleven ethnic indigenous communities. Recent years have seen the controversial proliferation of Bengali settlement to the resentment of the local populace. Its mountainous configuration, distinctive ethnicity with divergent culture, language, religion and social practices in contrast to the rest of the country has clearly sidelined the region from the mainstream society and national development process. In addition to this, political disagreement over the issue of indigenous traditional rights for the last few decades has smothered small local initiatives and drives for bringing in any positive change in the CHT. Until recently, this region has had no exposure to any major impact-centric development initiative. A large part of CHT population thus continues to remain underprivileged and poor. Green Hill works among this peripheral group.
