ABOUT GEIST

Harvesting & Realizing Innovative Ideas to Ensure Sustainability

is our goal

Founded on 12 February, 2017, the foundation has been pledge bound in ensuring the overall development of the society by overcoming the long-standing problematic factors that constrained the wheel of development. GEIST is fundamentally the outcome of the laborious hard work of the state alumni. These state alumni went to the United States by taking part in exchange programs funded by the U.S. Department of State, where they acquired and gained experiences. Their main goal was to apply what they had learnt in Bangladesh. Soon, GEIST is going to be one of the largest platforms of community work by the state alumni.

The Intent

It was founded by a bunch of state alumni who wanted to do something good for Bangladesh with the help of the experience they gathered during their exchange program journey.

Initiatives in Girls Empowerment

Girls are behind in many issues of learning paths in the developing countries. Thus, this initiative of GEIST allows different activities to inspire girls towards education, STEAM education, leadership development, research and technology knowledge. Moreover, issues like entrepreneurship and higher studies sessions focusing girls helps them to know the deep sense of understanding on the specific topic and plan accordingly. Program like Girls Never Look Book, a funded project of IREX, designed and implemented by GEIST created tremendous effect among the girls of rural community.

Technology knowledge: A recent study among the girls’ students of the GEIST partner school reflects that girls’ students are lacking behind on technology knowledge, practices and taking challenge on it. Thus, GEIST initiative of Tech-Girls enables to empower 200 girls nationwide towards technology knowledge development and use of it in their regular learning cycle.

Women entrepreneurship: As a part of Girls empowerment initiatives, GEIST arranges few sessions on the basics of entrepreneurship, how it works, developing entrepreneur ideas and design projects leading towards entrepreneurship. Finally, a total of 100 female students from 4 schools were empowered on this issues who started their work on this field. We believe that a few oft them will become some successful entrepreneur.
