As part of the implementation of
the "Income-Generating Project" under the special allocation of the
Bangladesh NGO Foundation (BNF), Nobojibon is implementing a free goat
distribution program from 1 July 2026 to 16 September 2026. Under this program,
a total of 50 goats will be distributed among 25 Disadvantaged Families. In the
first phase, 30 goats will be distributed among 15 Disadvantaged Families,
while in the second phase, 20 goats will be distributed among 10 Disadvantaged
Families. The primary objective of this initiative is to create sustainable
income opportunities for disadvantaged Families and ensure their financial
self-reliance.
The
first phase of the Goat Distribution Program, implemented under
the Income-Generating
Project funded through the Special Allocation of the
Bangladesh NGO Foundation (BNF), was held on 13 July 2026.
The inauguration ceremony of the program began with a welcome address delivered by Mr. Tarequzzaman Khan, Executive Director of Nobojibon. The Chief Guest was Mr. Iqbal Uddin Ahmed Chowdhury, Chairman of the Bangladesh NGO Foundation (BNF). Special Guests included Mr. Badruddoza, Assistant Commissioner (Land), Satkhira Sadar, and Dr. Md. Mashiur Rahman, Upazila Livestock Officer, Satkhira Sadar. The ceremony was chaired by Mr. Shamsul Alam Khan, President of the Nobojibon Executive Committee. The distinguished guests addressed the Disadvantaged Families and praised the role of the Bangladesh NGO Foundation and Nobojibon in improving the living standards of disadvantaged people through such income-generating initiatives.
One of the Disadvantaged Families
of this program is Salma Khatun, a 24-year-old widow. Following the death of
her husband, she had been living in severe financial hardship. Under the
special allocation of the Bangladesh NGO Foundation (BNF), implemented through
Nobojibon, she received two goats. In addition, she has been provided with
technical guidance on goat rearing, regular monitoring, and overall support.
Salma Khatun believes that with proper care and breeding of the goats, she will
be able to generate additional income in the future, enabling her to meet her
family's expenses and gradually become financially self-reliant. She stated
that this support has brought new hope into her life, and she is determined to
build a sustainable livelihood through her own hard work and skills, allowing
her to live a dignified and self-reliant life.
