Sylhet Jubo Academy - SJA in Sylhet Sadar, Sylhet

SJA is a Bangladeshi origin non-profit making private voluntary development organization aiming to provide sustainable measures to improve the conditions of the deprived people especially women and children.

SJA was established in August 1991 by a small group of philanthropists, led by former United Nations Volunteer (under UNDP, Nepal) A H M Faisal Ahmed. They aimed to develop a locally based, not-forprofit and non-political development organization that would operate at a “grassroots” level to address the real needs of economically and socially marginalized members of the community in Sylhet. Initially, the organization specialized in youth development projects to develop young people’s skills and thereby their economic prospects by developing their ability to mobilize manage and control local and external resources by themselves. Since then, SJA is in the journey of a stream of human development activities and has involved itself in development innovation along with quantitative and qualitative expansion.
