Rural Mother Center (RMC)

Half of the total population of Bangladesh is women, most of whom are disadvantaged living in rural areas. The Department of Social Services under the Ministry of Social Welfare has been implementing the Rural Mother Center program (RMC) since 1975 for the empowerment, economic liberation and socio-economic development of these women. Father of the nation Sheikh Mujibur Rahman launched this program. The main objective of this program is to reduce family based poverty by organizing backward, disadvantaged, poor and troubled women by ensuring active participation of women. Through these activities, the low-income backward poor women of the Upazilla level rural areas are organized and their own capital is formed. Rural Mother Center (RMC) activities are being implemented with the participation of women who are capable of giving birth only.

At present, the program is running in 494 Upazillas of 64 districts of the country. The main objective of Rural Mother Center (RMC) is to educate and motivate poor rural women on the benefits of small family formation, adult education, health and nutrition, mother and child care, as well as micro-credit for economic development of the poorest, generating savings and increasing income through profitable activities. Under this program, interest free microcredit ranging from Tk. 10,000 to Tk. 50,000 are provided to each member. The loan is repayable in 10 equal installments with 5% service charge for a maximum period of 1 year.
