BEDS has been working for the betterment of the local community of Sundarbans coastal region since 2013. BEDS created several alternate income generating scopes for those people and now they are getting much profit from the initiatives. Livestock rearing in one of such income generating activities. BEDS has trained the local community on livestock rearing and also distributed livestock like duck, sheep and cow to the local community. But the local community are facing some issues regarding the disease management of livestock. For the proper benefit from the livestock, disease management is a must. If someone fails to take proper take, he will face total failure from the livestock. Considering the situation, BEDS organized a skill developed training program for the coastal farmers on prevention measures on cow and duck diseases. A skilled expert have conducted the training program and also answered all the questions of the local community. The local people are hopeful to make profit from the livestock by applying the knowledge of the training event to prevent the disease infestation of the livestock.
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.
We would like to thank all our donors for being so kind to us so far. We are requesting all our kind donors to start monthly recurring donation. For recurring donation, please visit the following link; https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/livelihood-improvement-for-fishermen-families/

The people of Sundarbans coastal region are mainly forest resources. BEDS has established BANOJIBI at Dacope adjacent to Sundarbans, where 265 families are training on nature based product development, integrated farming, organic farming, native crop cultivation and tourism. Now the beneficiaries are engaged in integrated farming and getting maximum benefit from using the existing resources.
One of our beneficiaries expressed her feeling, “ Before I used to go for fishing with the husband in the forest. But it was quite risky and I couldn’t take care of my children. When BANOJIBI established, I was a member of BANOJIBI of agriculture sector as I have much interest in farming, but I did not have any cropland. Here I learned about integrated farming system and got native chicken and hen from BEDS which I rear in my homestead area and now I have 78 chickens and 105 Duck. Now I do not need to go to the forest to earn my livelihood. I have also cultivated vegetables in my homestead area. Through integrated farming, my economic condition has been improved and life becomes easier.
We would like to thank all our donors for being so kind to us so far. We are requesting all our kind donors to start monthly recurring donation. For recurring donation, please visit the following link; https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/livelihood-improvement-for-fishermen-families/
