Tailoring machine can change life of coastal women

By M. Sabrin Ahmed Roty | Project Leader

Tailoring gives us both money and respect

Bangladesh Environment and Development Society (BEDS) has been trying to improve the life standard of coastal women by homestead vegetable gardening, duck and ram raring, tailoring etc. since 2015.

The women of Mathurapur village live below the poverty line and are the victim of natural disasters. Every year, cyclones visit in this area. This is a highly saline area which creates several health issues for women and they could not take some protective measures due to their poverty. It is very difficult for them to conduct perform agricultural activities due to high salinity and disasters. They got training from BEDS on tailoring and they are tailoring in the BEDS center. BEDS provided few tailoring machine to the women. They were using to the machines to earn their livelihood. But the whole area is under lockdown due to Covid 19. They are not allowed to come out and go to the BEDS center. If they have tailoring machine by their own, they will be able to earn money by sewing.

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.

We are requesting all our donors to start monthly recurring donation. Please click the following link; https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/changing-life-by-empowering-women?show=recurring
