Bangladesh Environment and Development Society (BEDS) has been trying to improve the life standard of the women of Mathurapur village (Munshijang union of Shyamnagar sub district of Satkhira district) by providing tailoring training. BEDS has motivated local women of Mathurapur village to conduct small cottage industry to improve their life standard and provided training 30 women on cutting cloths and tailoring them.
Impact:
I got training on tailoring from BEDS. After that I am making dress, bag, mask and selling them. I also take order from local people and shops. In 2021, I have earned around BDT 20,000 from tailoring. Now I can take care of my children as well as my family members. I am contributing to my family income and this brings solvency in my family income. Now my family members are also considering my opinion regarding any topic and I gain a respectful position in my family.
Feedbacks from the beneficiaries:
One of beneficiary expresses her felling. ‘‘I struggled a lot to earn our livelihood. I risked my life and collect shrimp fry, fuel wood. I had no such respect and position in my family. I had to work hard from dawn to desk. After getting the training of tailoring and sewing machine, my life has been changed. Now I am earning money at my home. I can take proper care of my little children and can also bring food for them. I am contributing to my family expenses. Now my family seeks my decision for any work. I got a respect from not only my family members but also from the villagers. I want to improve my sewing capacity more to become a successful tailor and help my family.’’
Capacity building training and sewing equipments are necessary for the women to improve their life standard. So, BEDS has taken an initiative to empower 50 women of Mathurapur village by developing their skill on sewing and also providing them equipments related to sewing through raising fund from GlobalGiving platform.
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.
