Some Highlight of last year what we able to done are as follows: Tailoring Training: We able to training 12 girls who completed one year training. From them hear is one of the story updates. Runi lived through economic poverty, not being able to study and depression. Later, Model Village project Bangladesh with the partnership with Estes Park Rotary Club, Colorado, USA selected her as a beneficiary of the Swing training Project. She was trained in sewing with the help of the project. After successfully completing her sewing training, she came home and collected an old sewing machine and started doing a small business. She is not able to start the shop due to lack of financial capacity but at home now she is working. She does a little by taking some orders through the neighbors. Later, she received an order to make cloth from her neighbors.
Runi demonstrating sewing With the help of Model village project she got the training opportunity and then got the working opportunity. She feels that it is a first step towards self-reliance after receiving her training. It has helped her to develop a more enthusiastic and self-reliant attitude towards work. If she gets more opportunities like small loan to buy new machine and some cloth she and other trainee will be highly benefited.
