Kaan Pete Roi Emotional Support and Suicide Prevention Helpline
What we do
Kaan Pete Roi (KPR) is Bangladesh’s first and only emotional support and suicide prevention helpline, staffed by trained volunteers, which people can call to receive immediate support. The mission of the helpline is to alleviate feelings of despair, isolation, distress through compassionate, open-minded listening. KPR opened its lines on April 28, 2013 and has operated uninterrupted since, celebrating more than a decade of supporting those in distress in 2023.
