BSS, Dhaka :
The days of hardship that Bulbuli Begum went through in the past few years now seemed a long nightmare. She was absolutely clueless about what she should do after sudden death of her husband. But a state-supported project lit a light showing her the way of survival with her daughters and sons.
When she was in frantic move in search of a good job for decent living, the One House One Farm Project” was launched in her village Kholash of Dupchachia upazila in Bogra. It was 2011. From that year, Bulbuli Begum did not get any time to look back at the days of hardship and frustration. Instead, she started dreaming of good life that eventually became a reality. The housewife is now a successful entrepreneur, thanks to the One House One Farm Project.
Bulbuli Begum became a member of Kholash Gram Unnayan Samity of the project and borrowed Tk 10,000 from the samity to start a toy making business. Presently, she makes profits of Tk 7000-Tk 8,000 in every month from her home-based toy factory.
Like Bulbuli, thousands of poor people have been able to change their fortune with the help of this Project.
“The government is now planning to establish a total of one lakh Gram Unnayan Samities across the country by 2020 for providing all poor people a decent life”, Director of the scheme Akbar Hossain said.
