The organization, Poribes, embraces not only environmental causes but also all aspects connected to them. Originally founded by a group of medical professionals, Poribes emerged during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic as an initiative to aid its victims. Initially, our volunteers provided essential supplies such as oxygen, medicine, and other emergency assistance.
As the medical crisis unfolded, the devastating impact of the coastal storm named 'Yash' wreaked havoc on coastal regions, displacing countless residents. In response to this new challenge, we extended our support to the victims of Yash. Realizing the need for a coordinated effort, we decided to formalize our actions and establish an organization dedicated to helping people in crisis. Thus, on 11/6/21, Poribes (Progressive Organization for Rehabilitation of Inhabitants Based on Environmental Sustainability) came into existence. We owe our volunteers a debt of gratitude for providing a solid foundation for the implementation of our environmentally friendly ideals.
The initial milestones achieved in pursuit of our ambitious goals are as follows:
We provided assistance to the victims of Yash in Pathar Pratima, Sundarban.
We undertook the removal of solid waste, including plastics and other non-degradable materials, from the Durgaduani River in Sundarban.
We organized an awareness program for orphan children at Muktodhara, Naihati.
Providing free primary education to children in brickfields.
Conducting awareness programs for female workers in brickfields, focusing on feminine hygiene.
Providing educational support to specially-abled children at 'Titirsha.'
Provided Mosquito nets and other useful items to the families in brickfields during malaria and denguehike.
We organized various social media campaigns on youth suicide prevention program.
Poribes Foundation focuses on three key areas:
Development of children's mental and physical health, women's hygiene awareness, and health camps.
Conducting awareness programs and tree plantation to combat pollution.
Prioritizing education for disadvantaged and specially-abled children.
Our vision is to enhance the quality of life for all individuals while promoting environmental sustainability. By implementing innovative solutions and fostering a harmonious balance between human well-being and ecological preservation, we strive to create a better future for both inhabitants and the planet.
Enhancing the well-being of individuals facing physical, mental, economic, and health challenges while upholding environmental sustainability.

PORIBES – Progressive Organisation for Rehabilitation of Inhabitants Based on Environmental Sustainability is more than just an organisation; it is a passion and the fruition of a dream born in the minds of its founders, notably Mr. Saikat Saha, Mr. Biswajit Saha, Mr. Sayantan Acharyya, Ms. Sumitra Gurey, Mr. Avishek Chatterjee, Mr. Mainak Bandyapadhyay, and Mr. Santanu Das. They conceived this initiative out of a deep desire to contribute meaningfully to society.
I would also like to extend my thanks to Sourav Chakraborty and Prismhub Online Solutions for developing such a well-designed and meaningful website for the organisation.
The organisation began with very modest resources, relying solely on voluntary contributions from its members and volunteers, yet its goals are truly praiseworthy. Within a short span of time, PORIBES has already organised a plastic debris removal programme in the mangrove forests of the Sundarbans, conducted a female hygiene awareness programme for brickfield workers, and is now working towards establishing a primary school for the children of brickfield workers in North 24 Parganas.
I take this opportunity to applaud all the volunteers of the organisation who take time out of their busy schedules to work for the welfare of the socially underprivileged, while also protecting the environment that we all share, regardless of our socioeconomic status. I sincerely hope that this young organisation will receive grants and financial support from like-minded individuals and corporate organisations in the future, enabling it to continue and expand its meaningful work, and make a difference in the lives of many more people.
Over the past three years, Poribes Foundation has been dedicated to making a positive impact on our community, addressing social issues with unwavering commitment and passion.
Dedicated volunteers are the heart of our foundation, tirelessly working to make a positive and meaningful impact on our community.
Poribes Foundation has earned the trust of countless individuals, through transparency, accountability, and impactful projects, it has become a beacon of hope and change, attracting the support and confidence of people from all walks of life.
