About UCEP Bangladesh

UCEP (Underprivileged Children's Education Programme) Bangladesh is a national NGO established in 1972 by Lindsay Allan Cheyne, a New Zealander who dedicated his life to the welfare of children in Bangladesh.

Starting with just 60 working children, UCEP has grown into one of the largest NGOs in Bangladesh, providing education and training to hundreds of thousands of underprivileged children and young people.

UCEP operates various educational institutions including polytechnic institutes, schools, and vocational training centers across Bangladesh. UIST is one of its flagship technical education institutions.

The organization's mission is to provide basic education and vocational training to working children and youth from disadvantaged backgrounds, enabling them to break the cycle of poverty.
