Trap of false job offer !

Traffickers is offering false job offers to vulnerable women and children. Once an offer is accepted, individuals are trapped, sexually and forced into prostitution. Many of the girls will never see their family again. 

The chaos, poverty, and insecurity in the camps has also led to an increase in forced and child marriage as families can view marriage as an opportunity to protect their daughters and reduce their economic overhead. 

Simple & Effective Actions:

We want to create more jobs for Rohingya women inside the camp. We have seen first-hand how powerful it is to train women with real skills and training, through our existing projects in camp, where we have already trained dozens of women. We are extending these projects in Refugee camps, so we can now help more women. You can visit the album of our existing project. 

How it will be done?

With your donations, we will be able to support 56 extremely needy and skillful sisters to create a small business and earn sufficient income to help themselves and their families, Insha’Allah. Your donations will not only support their home, but you will support the education and well-being of those under them as well. We make regular visits, provide appropriate guidance and training to ensure effective utilization. 

The impact you can be a part of – our success:

Sultana was a young widow with three small children. In order to support herself, she used to rely on begging from house to house.  When we found her, we brought her to our workplace and encouraged her to begin training. After completing three months of advanced training, she is now a skilled resource and able to produce readymade garments. She relies entirely on our center to work – she has no machine or space of her own. We now want to help Sultana start a small ready-made garment shop, where she can sell items for ladies and small children. She will buy garments from wholesale vendors and made a reasonable profit from it.

Financial transparency:

Although audits are not obligatory for voluntary organizations in Bangladesh, we want to be transparent for donors, and in order to ensure complete financial transparency, we have the reputed firm, ACNABIN Bangladesh, conduct an annual audit. From our audited financials, you can see that Admin and Management costs are close to zero.
