It will profoundly feature the unreported Bangladesh and will create space for marginalized community particularly grassroots poor to express their voice, experience and stories. The project's vision is to make Bangladeshi grassroots people as "internet hero`, especially who lives under the poverty line.

The project is open for making partnership and collaboration with national and international development organisations and creative individuals who are committed to develop the present scenarios.
