Income generating projects

People wanted more relief after Sidr hit our coastal areas. Now they are looking for work instead of relief. I have been working with the biggest national NGO in their relief and rehabilitation programme in Sidr affected areas since December 2007.
In Morrelganj of Bagerhat district, Selina (45), a widow, has been living in her father's house for fifteen years. She has a son named Masum (18) and a daughter named Sonia (15). Masum pulls a van and Sonia has passed SSC exams. Selina involved herself with BRAC projects. She deposited some cash money for her daughter's admission in college and also repaired her broken house with her own income. Bakula's (35) husband is in jail. Her four children are now fully dependant on her income. Such is the case of many women.
They want the authorities concerned to set up more projects for poor women and men.
