Speaking to Dhaka Tribune recently, DIG Habibur said: "The Bede community here was acutely involved in yaba trading. Then I learned that the Bede community here has different leaders representing different tribes. Currently, a total 75 female members of the Bede community are working with the foundation. We became unemployed, our children, despite having the minimum education, were not offered any jobs just because they belonged to the Bede community. Uttaran Foundation has also built a school and coaching centre named "Mukti," where Bede children are provided with an education free of cost.
