About Parbatya Bouddha Mission (PBM)
Goals
Vision
PBM envisions a policy of development for the region and its people
which pursues a “holistic” approach in which the people
and their surrounding environment are able to prosper in a sustainable
manner.
PBM also envisions a community of people who are independent of
foreign and national aid and lead self-sustaining lives with employment
and education opportunities and health and food security.
Mission
PBM’s mission can be reduced to three inter-related principles:
(a) unify and empower people towards self-reliance in the hilly
areas (b) alleviate the causes of poverty by providing education,
job training and job opportunities (c) rehabilitate the impoverished
through the provision of affordable and accessible healthcare and
housing.
Objectives
The objectives of PBM are to uplift the social and economic conditions
of the people with the greatest needs in the hilly areas, especially
women and children, through community organization, education,
