Rukhsana's story
There are a great many challenges to overcome for a disabled girl in Bangladesh, but Rukhsana's story is proof that where there is a will, there is a way.
Plan Bangladesh
Plan has been operating in Bangladesh since 1994, helping poor children to access their rights to health, education, economic security and protection. Children are the heart of everything we do.
We partner with 30 national and local non-governmental organisations, and together our work benefits more than 3,500,000 people.
One of our current projects helps smallholding households mobilise their entrepreneurial skills and gain greater knowledge of good farming practices so that they can increase their incomes and establish sustainable livelihoods. Integrating agriculture and microfinance programmes, the Dairy Farm project will benefit around 500 families from 2 districts in its initial phase alone.
