2.    Goal

The goal of WOMEN CAN DO project is to give the chance to women of the backward families  to get a prestigious position in the family & society by earnings.


3.    Background
           
For last 5 years KAMF is working on backward people of Rangpur,Shapla Chottor area; like Rickshaw Pullers,Cobblers,Sweepers,Raw Hide/Tannery workers and their families.We are working hard with their education,health,sanitation & humanity issues.We also working with young generation. We try to make sure that they would not become spoilers.But these sectors are not sustainable with them for poverty.
A Rickshaw puller or a cobbler or a tannery worker earns less than $4/day. How he will be able to meet his family’s every important need? We have learned from our experience that without economic freedom better living is impossible. If there is not a constant healthy income source in a family there will be no humanity no education also no sanitation. 
Female of these families are in miserable conditions. As they are not earning members they are neglected. Men think they are only to bear baby & to cook food. 
To give the women of these backward families, a position & respect, we have taken this project. All ready we have trained 90 women in tailoring,embroidering & designing fabrics. Now we want to use the training of these women in to work. 


4.   Initiator

KHAZAHAR ALI MOMO FOUNDATION has got its registration in 2009. From January 2009  we are working on HEALTH, SANITATION, BASIC EDUCATION & HUMANITY issues in Rangpur Alam Nagor area, specially in Shapla Chottor. 
We are running this foundation mainly on donation from local well wishers. Cloths,mainly for females; are embroidered by the trained woman from the poor family & taken to the open market for sell is also one of the sources of fund for our foundation.
According to the memorandum of association of the foundation there is an executive council of 9 members, who looks everything of the foundation works. Politicians & terrorists are forbidden here.
Chairman or selected member by executive council of the foundation is responsible for the implementation of every project. He is helped by 2 supervisors, who are employee of the foundation.
Our organization is trying to do 3 different job here,building a strong economic condition,making sure of education & working for development of humanity. So we are special than other profit making organizations. 


5.    Management and supervision

As we mentioned above Chairman or selected member by executive council of the foundation monitors all the works of the foundation. He with the help of 2 supervisors & finance secretary produce monthly & quarterly statements for executive council meeting which held in first Friday of the month. For this project  we have to recruit 2 supervisors more.


6.    Activities
    
After training these women can design fabrics,can make block-print, brush-print & hand-embroidered Sarrees. They also can make three-piece dresses for women & Fatuas-Panjabees for men. We want to give  90 women $200 each as a loan without interest that they can do above mentioned works.
The foundation will buy all the product from them & will sell that by its own boutique.

11.    Conclusion

There are lots of organisation in Bangladesh who works with poor people.But as we are local of Rangpur shapla chottor area we have never seen any one working with these backward people for any positive purpose. Some well known micro credit providers came here with their operation, finally they become the burden to these poor families. 
We want to make this life more easier for everyone we know.
