An Initiative for Better Home4BetterLife

Bangladesh Environment and Development Society (BEDS) has been trying to improve the socio-economic condition of the women of Mathurapur village (Munshijang union of Shyamnagar sub district of Satkhira district)by providing several training like tailoring training. 

Impact:

A few local women learned tailoring from the trainings provided by BEDS. They learned measurement and cutting of the cloths. BEDS supported some tailoring machine to them. Now a small cottage industry has been developed. More women are coming in their center and learning and making bags, masks and cloths with the women. They are getting much order from market and their socio-economic condition has also been increased.

Feedbacks from the beneficiaries:

This is Mrs. Begum. I live in Mathurapur village. Before I used to work as day labor. It was very difficult and I could not take care of my family. My elder son dropped out from school. My family was in a mess. In 2015, I contacted with BEDS and got training on tailoring. I am earning around BDT 50,000 taka every year. Now I am contributing to my family expenses. Now my daughter go to school regularly and continuing her education.

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 have an alternate employment opportunity and lead a better life.
