Grambangla Unnayan Committee
GUC is a non-profit organisation working with the most socially excluded, marginalised, stigmatised and disadvantaged communities in Bangladesh. GUC works with such communities to highlight and advocate for their human rights, which are so often overlooked or ignored. In partnership with ChildHope, GUC, as part of the CLARISSA Bangladesh country team, will deliver participatory processes and innovations. They will have a focus on revealing and reducing harm to children working within the leather sector and its supply chain in Bangladesh, supporting positive family dynamics and promoting and building child-led coalitions.
