Do You know how much money does a rickshaw puller or a cobbler or a raw hide worker or a day labor or a sweeper earn in Bangladesh? Do you know how they are passing their daily life?
They earn only $ 4/day. You couldn't imagine with this tiny amount they have to maintain a family of 5 to 8 members ! This is the real fact.
These people & their families are facing the following problems regularly
1. High percentage of earning spent on food, still malnourished.
2. A large sections of them eat two meals, male child or earning
male members may get three meals.
3. Children mostly drop out in primary classes or do not join
school- turn street children.
4.They mostly take loan from private sources or moneylenders
and are perpetually in loan.
5. Unable to save regularly.
6.They face silent and deliberate exclusion from- municipal
and government services, land for housing or
shelter schemes, master plan, micro-credit, other NGO and
government programs, public space, national policies as well as
national budget.
Exclusion leads to extreme deprivation and make
them pay for their basic needs more than the rich pay.
We are helping them to come out from this bitter life. We also need your help. Please donate what you can.
