Mrs. Shima Begum, a community leader in Choraisha, Barisal, has become a beacon of leadership and experience for her developing community. Through the support of Oxfam’s EDP Program, she gained knowledge in diversified farming techniques and shared this with other women farmers in her area. Her success led to expanded business opportunities, including fair prices for her products and access to low-interest loans.
Financially, Mrs. Begum was able to increase her savings to 40,000 – 50,000 BDT in a year. Shima Begum’s achievements have inspired other women to join her as safe and fair-trade farmers. She now serves as the community’s lead agent, facilitating sales to #Prantojan Agro Limited and earning additional income for each kilogram she delivers.
