History of Lal Sabuj Society

Lal Sabuj Society, founded in 2015, is a non-profit youth organization dedicated to societal progress through initiatives in youth skill enhancement, climate action, mental health, women and child protection, and journalism.

The roots of Lal Sabuj Society trace back to 2010 when the founder, Tahsin Uddin, then an eighth-grader, wrote a satirical piece about a school teacher as a response to severe punishment. Encouraged by his aunt, he launched the children’s magazine, Monthly Lal Sabuj, with his friend Fahim. Using their savings, they published the first 50 copies with just 300 Taka. Initially photocopied, the magazine evolved into a glossy four-page tabloid, addressing youth issues and achieving a peak circulation of 3,000 copies.

Tahsin’s writing instilled a sense of social responsibility, prompting action beyond journalism. In 2012, he and his peers initiated a project to gift Eid clothes to underprivileged children, transparently funded with the support of the District Commissioner. This act marked the beginning of their commitment to social change, leading to the official formation of Lal Sabuj Society in 2015. The organization then expanded its initiatives to include self-defense training for girls, bicycle training, debate workshops, and journalism training.

Lal Sabuj Society’s initiatives have significantly impacted the community. We now operate in 32 districts across Bangladesh and Nepal, offering skill-enhancing workshops and training sessions. We also focus on mental health, working with an experienced psychotherapist to provide awareness and services. Our climate action efforts have garnered national and international recognition, contributing to sustainable community development.

Our programs have empowered numerous young people and made significant strides in mental health advocacy and climate action. Our projects have been acknowledged for their quality and effectiveness, positioning Lal Sabuj Society as a leading youth organization in the region. The journey of Lal Sabuj Society, from a schoolboy’s magazine to a multinational organization, exemplifies the power of youth-driven initiatives. With a strong foundation and a clear vision, we aim to continue our growth, fostering positive societal change and empowering the next generation.
