Description
Story behind this
initiative
In Bangladesh, poverty remains a significant barrier to progress and development. While economic growth has lifted many out of absolute poverty, relative poverty still traps millions in a cycle of deprivation. These communities, often in rural and hard-to-reach areas, struggle with inadequate access to basic necessities such as food, shelter, healthcare, and education.
Jonoshakti is committed to breaking the cycle of relative poverty by focusing on sustainable development solutions tailored to the unique needs of these communities. We work closely with local leaders and residents to understand the root causes of their economic struggles and to develop programs that provide long-term support rather than temporary relief.
Our approach to addressing relative poverty is comprehensive, targeting both immediate needs and the underlying factors that perpetuate economic disparities. By empowering individuals with the resources, skills, and opportunities they need to improve their lives, Jonoshakti is helping to build stronger, more resilient communities.
Brief Summary
Relative poverty continues to affect millions of Bangladeshis, especially those in rural areas and urban slums. Jonoshakti works to alleviate poverty by providing resources and sustainable solutions to help individuals and families meet their basic needs and build better futures.
Why it's important
Despite impressive economic growth, inequality persists in Bangladesh. According to a report by The Daily Star (2021), over 20 million people still live in poverty, struggling to access adequate housing, healthcare, and employment opportunities. Poverty increases vulnerability to exploitation, malnutrition, and ill-health, creating an unending cycle of hardship.
Why it needs attention
Tackling poverty is essential to ensuring a more equitable society. By providing financial support, access to education, and job creation, Jonoshakti aims to break this cycle and provide individuals with the tools they need to improve their lives. Sustainable solutions can empower communities to become self-reliant, reducing the need for long-term aid.
