Sundarbans coastal region is widely known for its unique natural beauty as well as vulnerability of the local people. Sundarbans coastal region is disaster prone due to it’s geographic condition. On this region, BANOJIBI has been established at Dacope adjacent to Sundarbans. On the BANOJIBI, local people come and produce different mangrove based non wood forest products like mangrove pickle, mangrove molasses, mangrove honey and other different products. They are processing and packaging their developed products in BANOJIBI and selling them all over the country. Those products are also available in online market of Bangladesh. Now the local community are getting monetary benefit from the products.
One of the member expressed her feelings, “We are very poor. We depended on the forest for our livelihood and worked as a day labor in the farming yard. But now I am working in BANOJIBI. It’s like a dream factory to us where we produce, process and package our products. The demand for the products has been increasing day by day and we are getting proper value of the products. Now I lead a respectful life, contribute to my family income and try to make some savings for our future.”
BEDS has established BANOJIBI and there are lots of deprived women in this region. BEDS is unable to support more women due to the lack of funding support. So, it’s a heartiest appeal to all the donors for being kind to help those vulnerable women to give them a chance to come out from the cycle of poverty and lead a respectful life.
