ROOSC Phase-2 Project

While the whole world was facing the covid-19 pandemic, Bangladesh was fighting against it and building up strength, because that was the only way for us to survive. Under the capable rule of the Honorable Prime Minister of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, Sheik Hasina we are advancing as a nation. The government is trying to rid our country of famine and poverty and we are trying to contribute to this battle. And we are taking these steps holding the hand of an organization which goes by the name “Niharika”.

 

 

‘Reaching Out of School Children (ROOSC) Phase-2 Project’ is now a reality for “Niharika”, all because of the corporation the Ministry of Public and Primary Education, World Bank and SAVE THE CHILDREN. We have trained the children of Cox’s Bazar’s district Ramu (Kocchopia, Gorgonia Union) in four different trade – 1. Electronics and mobile phone servicing 2. Industrial sewing machine operation and tailoring 3. Beauty care 4. Electric house-wearing and solar system. Due to this project, the trainees under this organization were able to start working and earn for themselves.


Immense thanks to the Bangladesh government, World Bank & Save the children for supporting us.
