Promoting Natural Farming Practices in Bangladesh

This is one of our long time beneficiaries at our location in Banishanta union of Dacope sub district of Khulna district. He joined us when we started our livestock farming project. He is another successful beneficiary of livestock farming project. He was a forest dweller before joining this livestock farming.

Bangladesh Environment and Development Society (BEDS) supported him by giving some ducks and two ships. After joining the livestock farming, the beneficiaries have got training from BEDS on how to nursing this livestock’s.

So far, those sheep have given birth of six lamb and now and now they have more than 40 duck. They are selling 4 sheep in the market and get good price. They are getting eggs from ducks. They also sell eggs and getting monetary benefit. They also sell the ducks for meat and getting economic support. They are taking care of the livestock like new born duck and sheep are giving birth to new lambs. A new scope for income has been developed and their family income has increased.

We would like to thank all our donors for being so kind to us so far. We are requesting all our kind hearted donors to spread out their helping hands to support the marginal people through starting recurring donation.

BEDS supported 20 Sheep, 100 chicken and 100 ducks to improve their economic situation during Covid-19. The beneficiary of livestock are taking cake of the livestock. They are providing feed and regularly monitoring the livestock. They are getting eggs from chicken and ducks. Some of them sell eggs and getting monetary benefit. Others are rearing chickens and ducks and the number of livestock increasing day by day. They also sell the ducks and chickens for meat and getting economic support. A new scope for income has been developed and their family income has increased.

There are many more marginal villagers live in the Sundarbans coastal region of Bangladesh, who needs the same support.People who depend on the forest resources fall in huge risk as Bangladesh government has issued strict laws on forest resource harvesting. Those people belong to an extremely poor socio economic condition. So, in pandemic situation, they require instant support. Livestock can be a great medium for them to survive. BEDS is currently trying to raise fund from GlobalGiving platform in order to help those marginal people.
