An Initiative for Better Home4BetterLife

Bangladesh Environment and Development Society (BEDS) has been trying to empower 75 women of Mathurapur village through assisting in developing their skill and providing them swing machines. Although BEDS has provided a few swing machines to the women, the quantity of swing machines is not enough for them. Our target women are engaged in shrimp fry collection from Sundarbans rivers and with the process they destroy so many small fish genus. These types of actions are dangerous for Sundarbans mangrove ecology; but they can’t help doing it because of their poverty. Target grant of the project is 11,368 $. So far, 150 $ is raised.

As we have some other activities there, we are always in touch with our beneficiaries. We regularly discuss with them about their present situation. We have already shared the information with them that we are trying to raise fund for them to support them with swing machines and one donor has provided us donation for the purpose. They feel very glad to know that and urge again to help them.

The women shrimp fry collectors of the fishermen village said that they don’t like to collect shrimp fry from the Sundarbans. It is very insecure work and unhealthy. Moreover, it is not possible for them to earn much from it so, they need a substitute work. they like swing activities and got training on it. At this moment, they need a swing machine’’.

So, we are requesting the donors for being kind to those women and fetch smile on their faces.
