Bangladesh Environment and Development Society (BEDS) has supported 20 Sheep, 100 chicken and 100 ducks to the Sundarbans coastal people (Banishanta union of Dacope sub district of Khulna district). The supported villagers are nourishing those livestock. So, the number is increasing day by day. The supported villagers are earning from eggs and meat selling. The supported people are now very happy with those livestock.
Impact:
Now I am earning money from home. I can earn from chicken eggs and chicken meat selling. Now I don’t have to look for work and go out for work. 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.
Feedbacks from the beneficiaries:
One of beneficiary expresses her felling. Before starting the alternative livelihood work, I used to work as a day laborer, road constriction, other people’s land I struggled a lot to earn our livelihood. It was too difficult to find work in Covid-19 situation. After getting the support of chicken and sheep, New chicken have been born and sheep are giving birth to new lambs, my life has been changed. Now I am earning money at my home. I can take proper care of my children and can taking care of their children education in a better way than what they did in the past. I am contributing to my family expenses also.
But 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.BEDS is currently trying to raise fund from GlobalGiving platform in order to help those marginal people.
