Given the recent fire incidents and risky working environment in the garment factories, the session was arranged to contribute more for the safety and security for the garment workers. Being the first responder organization, FSCD shared its experience of noteworthy incidents like Tazreen fire and Rana Plaza collapse. Brigadier General Ali Ahmed Khan, PSC, Director General of FSCD and other important officials of FSCD were present in the sharing meeting. Emphasizing on the importance of capacity building of the garment workers on fire safety and security, Ms. Anne Main MP gave her speech at first on behalf of the UK delegation. She pointed out that usually the garment workers are not educated on preparedness, emergency and rescue operation. Therefore, it is really frightening for them to act properly in accident and disaster. Participants at the sharing meeting Ms. Rushanara Ali MP raised her concern over the poor working condition of the garment sector and called upon the international as well as the domestic business community to work more effectively to ensure safer working environment for the garment worker. Ms. Ali congratulated the team members Islamic Relief for their work around the world. All participants of the sharing session drew attention on the well being of people especially of them who are not well acquainted with safety and security issues. As more disasters are taking place, the participants of the meeting urged to promote awareness and knowledge and build capacity of the people to ensure their own safety. Though, FSCD is working with urban community volunteers, there is still a huge need of skilled urban community volunteers due to the rapid pace of urbanization. Mr. Shabel Firuz, the Country Director of Islamic Relief, Bangladesh, concluded the session by thanking UK Government for being a friend to Bangladesh. The parliamentarian group observed an earthquake response drill following the sharing session. The visitors observed the drill

4 P A G E 4 News & Views Page 4 Crafting clothes and hope in Rangpur N ine hundred women have opened a unique clothing and soft furnishings showroom in northern Bangladesh, as part of an Islamic Relief project designed to support them in building livelihoods. The women, of Rangpur s Mithapukur sub-district, came together under a scheme funded by Forum Syd. The project provided them with opportunities to enhance their skills in hand stitching, tailoring, block and traditional batik and helped the group to buy materials and equipment to get started. It also trained the women on small-business skills including sourcing value-for-money and quality materials, displaying their hand-made products, and reaching local and national markets. The products which include saris, shirts, and children s clothes as well as bed linen are on display at Naowar, the new Sales and Display Centre in Rangpur District Administration Community Market. The centre is generating more publicity and branding, and has become a hub for wholesalers and retailers. Mr. Rezaul Karim Reza, Chairman of Pairabandh Union Parishad said: Naowar has the potential to be a popular brand in handicraft market. The dedication and commitment of the entrepreneurs can be a good example for others. Since the project began, the Naowar Women Development Organisation has saved BDT. 120,000(around 963 GBP), and the entrepreneur group continues to expand its market to different regions of Bangladesh. On June 2013, Naowar have also show-cased their products in the Islamic Relief World Expo, held this summer in Lidcombe, Australia - and are set to carry on developing the enterprise into the future. Most of our times were wasted by gossiping after households work and we were upset for not doing anything productive, But, each of six hundreds out of nine hundreds poor women has their own work now and earns money by making handicrafts -Sumona Akter Shirin, President of Naowar Women Development Organization, an apex body of the rural entrepreneurs, has expressed her deep satisfaction over their involvement with this income generating intervention.

The organisation is also undertaken training programme for the locals who struggle to make better livelihoods that work in harmony with the local environment and are less likely to be jeopardised by natural disasters. As part of the comprehensive capacity development programme, Islamic Relief handed over search & rescue equipments to Upzaila Disaster Management Committee (UzDMC) and Union Disaster Management Committee (UDMC) that helps the local residents to plan towards mitigating the effects of crises and be better prepared when disasters hit. Deputy Commissioner of Khulna Mr. Mejbah Uddin received the equipments and thanked Islamic Relief for continuous support in regard to risk reduction and climate change adaptation in the south western region of Bangladesh. Mr. Shamim Hasan, Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) of Koyra and Syed Shahnawaz Ali, Head of ICDR of Islamic Relief were among others present in the ceremony. Escaping poverty in the southeastern coastal belt of Bangladesh My family suffered a lot as I didn t have an income, said Laila Begum, who participated in an Islamic Relief livelihood support project that comes to an end on August. But, Islamic Relief helped me to buy a cow through which I can accumulate capital to lead a respectable life in future. Laila and her family were one of 8,787 families in Chittagong to benefit from one of Islamic Relief s livelihood projects. Grocery shop of a project beneficiary Deputy Commissioner of Khulna received the equipments from Islamic Relief Bangladesh A number of coastal sub-districts in Chittagong were badly affected by floods, river erosion and salinity last year. Several hundred-thousand families lost their crops and struggled to earn a living through activities upon which they previously relied - such as livestock rearing, homestead gardening, and fishing. The project - which started on January saw the area s most vulnerable poor families receive cash grants, training and support to build small businesses. Families were identified through rigorous consultation with the community, local government and civil society organisations. Orientation on livestock rearing, homestead gardening and fishing was supported by a cash-grant of BDT.10, 000 ($125). Islamic Relief also established links with the local supply chain as well as service providers. Islamic Relief set a glaring example of transparency and participatory approaches in implementing the development project, said Mosad Hossain Chowdhury, the Chairman of Sadaha Union of Satkania. Shabbir Iqbal, Upazila Nirbahi Officer of Banshkhali, a severely affected sub-district said, Islamic Relief s effort to help ultra-poor people to get out of poverty was a much appreciated initiative.
