How does a poor woman in rural Bangladesh make use of her business acumen if she lacks education, lacks opportunities to learn new skills, no assets of her own, a husband who earns just enough for the family to survive from day to day, children to look after and a society that had traditionally disapproved of women working outside the home? We have put in place sewing machine to help our women in Bangladesh to stride and earn with for themselves. The Sewing machine project gives them to work from home and be a cultural housewife at the same time.
