A lot of households are devastated by poverty and unemployment in Bangladesh. Many women being the head of households suffer in running the households due to financial constraints. Very few have opportunities to earn income. Those who do, are discriminated against in the workforce. BASMAH skill training program is empowering the poor women, helping them to become self-sufficient. Our sewing machine training and free machine distribution program provides these women with the skills needed to open a small business in their household. Our training centers located in Cox’s Bazar, Mymensingh, and Narayanganj districts and we are gradually opening centers across Bangladesh. This is a dual-pronged approach, providing free sewing machines & training to create a stream of income for these women. In the last year, over 100 poor women benefited from this program. Each sewing machine costs $125, and training costs $50. Your generous support can change the life of a poor woman.
