Bangladesh Federation has been running a "Health, Education and Vocational
Training Programme" since 1982. Set against a background of extreme
rural poverty, in a country where there are few educational opportunities
for girls and The
project has been a success. BFUW expanded activities offered to add education
and health services for women and children, as well as courses in sewing
and tailoring. The current project is based in the village of Moghbazar,
where around 50 women and children currently attend the primary education
course and the literacy programme. Over 100 women and children benefit
every week from medical care. The sewing classes, which are proving popular,
have resulted in a number of women successfully establishing their own
small tailoring and dressmaking businesses. |
