Due to the pandemic, the unemployment rate in Bangladesh rose by 13% in only a few months. Our partner since 2008, Grameen Shikkha responded by quickly arranging to teach 1,000 unemployed young men and women a new occupation. During a 2-month crash course, they will obtain skills such as electrical house wiring, industrial sewing, and garment machine repairing or computer skills. The project aims to help these unemployed young men and women by equipping them with new skills, which can help them find new jobs.You can read more about this program at grameenshikkha.com and gsrd.com.
