About us
Born from compassion.Built with community.
Our story
A heartfelt movement, not just an NGO.
Abol Tabol is more than just an NGO — it is a heartfelt movement born out of compassion, community, and the simple desire to stand by people in their time of need. Founded in 2019 in Dhupguri, our journey began not with grand ambitions, but with a humble wish: to ensure that no one feels alone, especially during life's most challenging moments.
Just days after inception, the world was hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. We stepped up — distributing cooked meals to those left hungry and supplying nutritious food to pandemic-hit communities. Abol Tabol became a trusted helping hand.
Over the years we've celebrated festivals with those who often go unnoticed — gifting new clothes, distributing umbrellas to street hawkers, donating wheelchairs to specially-abled individuals, ensuring dignity in death with a mortuary freezer for common people, and more.
Mission
To stand by people, together with people.
Abol Tabol began with the simple intention of standing by people and working alongside society as social workers. Our aim is not vast or ambitious; we simply wish to ensure that no one goes hungry, no child is left out of joy, and no father carries the burden of celebration alone.
Vision
Not from the outside — from within.
We are not here to change society from the outside. We are here to become part of it and walk alongside people — shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart — creating small yet meaningful differences through acts of kindness.
Philosophy
No hierarchies. Every member a volunteer.
Every effort is shared and every action is guided by love and empathy. We don't require volunteers in the traditional sense — because when we work as one, we are stronger. Those who support us receive a simple memento of gratitude, a symbol of the bond we share.
