On 29 March 2015, the Government of Japan extended grants to three Bangladeshi NGOs. SKS Foundation is one of the NGOs. Ambassador Shiro Sadoshima signed 'Grant Contracts' for Grass-roots Human Security Projects at Embassy of Japan with the representative of these NGOs. Mr. Rasel Ahmed Liton, Chief Executive of SKS Foundation, Gaibandha (1st from right) signed contract on behalf of SKS Foundation.

SKS Foundation's grant-awarded project aims at establishing community radio station at Sadar. In Gaibandha, there are many perennial islands, called 'Char' in the Jamuna River. People in Char areas suffer from perennial natural disasters being deprived of basic human needs such as health, education, communication and information services. With the community radio station to be established through the Japanese assistance, SKS foundation will broadcast disaster, health, nutrition, education, agriculture, market, livelihood information and cultural programs with a view to decreasing the natural disaster damage and ensuring sustainable community development.
