Bangladesh Jamuna River
Development Project B

3rd Quarter Report, January - March 2010
( a few highlights)

Profits & Produce = Improved Livelihood!

  • Using some of their pooled investment,
    a women’s "savings" group was able to
    lease a plot of land.  Profits from the
    crop are shared and distributed among
    the members.

  • In addition, 15 kitchen gardens have
    been planted.

Health Improvement

  • Primary Health Care Training
    exceeded the target -
    18 trainees attended (target was 15)
  • Arsenic Awareness Classes also
    exceeded attendance expectations
    but there has been some delay in
    obtaining the water test kits. It is
    expected the testing will commence
    next quarter.
