The programme, designed to empower underprivileged women, was officially inaugurated on Tuesday (30 Sept) at the hall room of North Aslampur Government Primary School (No- 142).

The event was conducted by Charfesson upazila representative Kamrul Sikder and presided over by upazila Shuvosangho President M Amir Hossain.

Speakers praised the initiative, noting that Bashundhara Shuvosangho has long been working to uplift marginalised communities in remote areas.

In Charfesson, the organisation has previously arranged iftar during Ramadan, conducted seminars in schools and colleges to combat drug abuse, provided financial aid for underprivileged and disabled students to enroll in college, and distributed food to needy families.

The current sewing training programme, coupled with the provision of sewing machines, was described as a powerful step toward making disadvantaged women self-reliant.
