BMKS — Bandhon Manab Kallyan Sangstha
A bilingual website for a voluntary organisation in Gaibandha, Bangladesh, built so a donor can understand the work, trust the numbers, and give — in English or Bangla — without phoning anyone first.
Read the case study Visit the live sitebmks.org is the public face of a non-political voluntary organisation serving underprivileged families in Gaibandha. The site explains the programmes — education, clean water, health, livelihoods, relief — shows the organisation's published impact figures, and turns goodwill into action through donation and volunteer flows, in English and Bangla.

How the solution works
From problem to outcome.
A simple view of how work moves through the solution, without exposing private implementation details.
See the evidence
Impact counters carry the organisation's published figures — donations, funds raised, volunteers, projects — with the source stated.
Choose a way to help
Get involved splits into donating and volunteering, because money and time are different offers and deserve different doors.
Give in your language
The Bangla switch keeps local donors and volunteers on the same site as international ones.

The product in action
How BDBot works inside Discord.
Players never need to leave the community space they already use. The bot turns commands into clear match, profile, and leaderboard experiences directly in the channel.
The mission, the proof, the ask
One screen carries the organisation's promise, the photograph that grounds it, and the counters that evidence it — with donate and see-our-work as the only two choices.
Numbers, attributed
The impact page frames the figures as the organisation's own published numbers — the scale of the work, with the people inside it — so credibility never rests on the website's word alone.
More than one way to help
Money, time, skills, or reach — the page splits the ask so a donor funds relief packages and school materials while a volunteer joins the team on the ground in Gaibandha.
The situation that needed to change.
BMKS has worked in Gaibandha since 2018 — education, clean water, health, livelihoods, and relief — but the work lived in photos, papers, and word of mouth. A potential donor had no place to see what the organisation does, no evidence of scale, and no way to give beyond meeting someone in person. And half the audience reads Bangla, not English.
What I changed and built.
- Led with the mission in plain words and put the donate action within one click of every page.
- Published the organisation's own figures — donations, funds raised, volunteers, projects — as live counters, labelled as BMKS-published so the numbers stay honest.
- Built the whole site bilingual, with an English and Bangla switch in the header rather than a separate translated site.
- Split 'Get involved' into the real ways people help — money, time, skills, reach — so a volunteer and a donor each find their door.
Key choices
Why this approach worked.
Attribute the numbers
Impact counters read 'figures as published by BMKS' — a small line that keeps the site honest and protects the organisation's credibility if a number is questioned.
One site, two languages
A header language switch beats a separate Bangla site: one set of pages to maintain, and both audiences see the same organisation.
Donate everywhere, quietly
The donate button lives in the header on every page rather than shouting from every section — present at the moment of decision without turning the site into a billboard.
Doors for time as well as money
Volunteers who pack and distribute in Gaibandha matter as much as donors, so becoming one is a first-class flow, not a footnote.
What I was responsible for.
I built and shipped the site: the bilingual page structure, the donation and get-involved flows, the impact counters, the programme and resources sections, and the production deployment on the organisation's domain.
- Build the bilingual site structure with the English and Bangla switch.
- Build the homepage, about, our-work, impact, get-involved, resources, and contact pages.
- Implement the donation and volunteer flows.
- Implement the published-figures impact counters.
- Make the site work on the phones most local visitors use.
- Deploy to production on the organisation's domain.
Outcome
What changed because of the work.
The organisation has a public home on its own domain. Donors can read the work in either language, see the published figures, and start a donation; volunteers can sign up to the team on the ground in Gaibandha.
