As The Hunger Project begins the era of the final milestone, THP in Bangladesh is launching new programs. Our highest priority is to empower grassroots women leaders as key change agents for a new future. In the past few months, significant openings and opportunities have been created for our work, and we have worked very hard at making good use of them.
Women are in general mistreated, subjugated and marginalized in Bangladesh.
They are the poorest of the poor and most deprived of the deprived. This makes it imperative for us to take actions to transform their condition and also involve them in ending their own hunger. In the past few months, we have taken some important initiatives in this direction. We have found out over the years that participating in our animators training makes the biggest difference in the lives of women. It not only empowers them to take responsibility for their own future, but it also helps them to help others to do so.
