BangladeshAssociation for Social Advancement (BASA) is a non-government, non-profit andnon-political organization established in 1991 to serve the socio-economically depressed communities in Bangladesh. BASA works in the fields of sustainabledevelopment, poverty alleviation and empowerment of the poor (particularlywomen) through the provision of micro-finance services supported by a widearray of other development programmes.
