About GEIST
Harvesting & Realizing Innovative Ideas to Ensure Sustainability
Is Our Main Goal
GEIST stands for Global Educators Initiative for Sustainable Transformation. GEIST is fundamentally the outcome of the laborious hard work of the state alumni.
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. It is deemed as a non-profit charitable organization. Currently, GEIST is functional in many countries other than Bangladesh, namely- U.S.A, India, Nepal, Vietnam, Columbia, Cambodia, Guetamala, Iraq, Ukraine, Turkey, Russia, Columbia, Lithuania, Nigeria, Germany, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and France.
