Green Hill, a CHT people’s non-political development organization was established on March 2, 1994 by some dedicated and highly educated tribal social workers and philanthropists of Rangamati, Chittagong Hill Tracts, who wanted to uplift the socio-economic status of the poor CHT communities. Eleven different indigenous communities and the Bengali community inhabit the greater Chittagong Hill Tracts (Rangamati, Bandarban and Khagrachari districts). It covers an area of 5093 square miles, mostly hilly and inaccessible. The very different geography, culture and social practice of this region compared with the rest of the country has clearly side lined it in terms of national development. In addition to that, political trouble over the last few decades has destroyed any existing small local initiatives and drives for realizing positive social change. Until recently therefore this region has had no exposure to any development activities and the majority of the CHT population continues to be very underprivileged and poor. Since 1994 Green Hill has been committed to work with and for the underprivileged people of the CHT to alleviate their poverty situation.

Currently Green Hill is implementing the following 5 main projects under the sector of Health, Social Empowerment, Agro-based Household enterprise and Natural Recourses and Environment:
a. Rights for Indigenous Groups of Hill Tracts (RIGHTS).
b. Sustainable Rural Safe Water Supply and Sanitation Program in CHT.
c. CHT Children’s opportunities for Learning Enhanced (CHOLEN)
d. Strengthening Local Government through enterprise and grassroots initiatives

a. Enable community to access their basic human rights from GOB, duty bearers and relevant actors. b. Enable UP representatives to be more responsive and proactive in addressing to the demand and rights of community. c. Policy advocacy at Upazila, district and regional level on existing UP Act and CHT Peace Treaty, Hill District Council Act, Foresty Act for better functionary to be the favor of community. d. Improve relation between indigenous and non-indigenous communities of the CHT through campaign and social interaction.
