Government Home for Disadvantaged Girls Sunamganj, Bangladesh, was established to accommodate 70 vulnerable girls children to provide accommodation and a friendly environment for their development.

Sunamganj is one of the most underdeveloped districts in Bangladesh, surrounded by a wetland ecosystem in the northeastern part of Bangladesh which physically is a bowl or saucer-shaped shallow depression, also known as a back swamp. During monsoons, haors receive surface runoff water from rivers and canals to become vast stretches of turbulent water. The lack of resources, coupled with natural disasters, causes poverty, homelessness, stunted children's growth and food insecurity. Among the most vulnerable are children who are victims of domestic violence, labour, and emotional and physical abuse.
