DONATE OUR NEXT PROJECT

Name of Project:
Awareness Education Program on Environmental Management.

Proposed Project Background:
Bangladesh is one of the least developed countries in south East Asia where poverty & vulnerability is the regular feature of the rural people’s life. The main reasons for poverty & vulnerability is due to lack of awareness & environmental degradation in respect of rapit urbanization, Reducing of wetland, industrial wastes, deforestati, non-judicial use of chemical fertilizer & pesticides (Dirty Zones), inadequate WASTSAN facilities and some other natural calamities. Consequences peoples suffering are increasing day by day life is endangering as well.
Justification: Bangladesh is an agricultural country and farming is the main livelihood of rural people. Approximately 80% of the families of Bangladesh are farm families. According to survey, research and study reports done by different organizations there is a general lack of awareness on modern agriculture system, equipments & technology especially on Health & Environment. It was reported that current vegetable production in Bangladesh meets only about 25% of the total requirement; obviously this is far short of the need. The present daily consumption in only about 30 grams per person against the average daily need of the about 200 grams. Similarly, fruits production & consumption rate is also below than vegetable consumption rate. Henceforth, poor villagers especially frames become sick and facing lots of health hazard ness. Similarly for keeping good environment 25% of forest is must, but as of different survey & study we have only 8% forest area. So, those factors are directly influencing the health & environment and it is also endanger for animal kingdom as well.
About 10% of the 14 million homes in Bangladesh have an average of 81 square meters of homestead land and a piece of rice plot along with small ditch pond where they can easily grown different vegetables & horticultural crops and start-up Rice Fish culture round the year through practicing of integrated farming & regenerative agriculture. So, considering is this situation SUN impels that Village Farm Family Development Program (VFFDP) through establishing of Regenerate agriculture program could be possible to address to poverty alleviation and overcoming the mal nutritional problems of the poor farm families life. Considering, the above mentioned condition on health & environment condition through awareness rising of the vulnerable people of the project area and ensure good health and environment conditions.
