Project Lorai
While Bangladesh has made significant strides in recent years towards becoming a middle income country, there is still much work to be done in terms of ensuring equitable access to economic opportunities for women, third gender and other marginalized communities.
Give Bangladesh Foundation (GBF) believes in the right of every Bangladeshi to have the right to economic opportunities for financial independence. Thus Project Lorai – an initiative of GBF, has begun working with the goal of improving the economic wellbeing of women from marginalized and deprived communities.
