SBC- Charfashion team brings smile to the faces of the people of remote areas of Bhola

The SBC team of Shushilan always maintaining proper communication & coordination with the district & Upazila administration along with the different govt. officials. Coordination can help improve the efficiency of government services, reduce duplication of work, and increase the impact of programme. It can improve service delivery by identifying bottlenecks and designing new ways to address challenges, reduce costs by pooling resources and sharing knowledge & reduce risk by working together to identify and mitigate risk. The Project Officer of SBC- Charfashion Jagannath Ray has been selected as the NGO Coordinator of Charfashion Upazila by the Upazila Nirbahi Officer. As the Shushilan team is delivering service towards the entire Charfashion Upazila through SBC project, they identified the miseries of the people of Dhalchar, Mujibnagor & Char Kukri- Mukri. In winter, the new born children suffer from pneumonia due to lack of warm clothes & many children die. Elderly people in these char areas get sick from cold & many die. Pregnant mothers also suffer from various problems related to cold during child birth. Dwellers in this region struggle to get two meals a day & they can’t even think about buying new warm clothes. Natural calamities and lack of employment are two of the main factors holding char people back from participating in mainstream life. These two factors are also hindering their chances of a better livelihood, education, sanitation, and healthcare. Observing all the sufferings, the project officer of Shushilan communicates with the UNO- Charfashion & requested her to allocate some blankets from the govt. reservation. The UNO agreed & gave the Project Officer of Shushilan responsibility for distributing 150 blankets among the most disadvantages & marginalized people of these Char. Getting the blankets to the remote areas was the most risky & difficult task but the team of Shushilan rushed to the most remote places of these Char, prepared list & distributed the blankets among the poor pregnant, lactating women, disable people, elderly people with the presence of the Union Chairman, influential people of the community, health worker & teachers. The project Coordinator of SBC- Bhola was also present during distribution. This effort of SBC- Charfashion brings smile on the faces of the most vulnerable & disadvantages people. They told that this was incredibly what they need. They appreciated for the generosity of Shushilan. They also believe that a blanket can save the life of a man including a pregnant mother, an infant or an elderly person.
