Background of PCC&MEC: Population Crisis Control & Mass Education Committee (PCC &
MEC) is a non-profit, non-political, and non-government voluntary organization that came into
appearance in 1985. It is committed to helping in changing the socio-economic and health status of the
local poor especially the deprived women and destitute children of the poor families of its working
areas. A group of civic-minded men and women of the Khulna area established it and closely found the
measurable condition of the local poor living in the poverty brackets. The organization realizes the
socio-economic problems of the poor people and believes in their potential to overcome the
problems through their efforts.
