It was Nasima’s initiative that started the miracle. After passing
the first ten years of their marriage in crushing poverty,
Nasima started buying spoons, glasses and bowls from the
factory where her husband worked, and selling them
door-to-door. It worked well. They were able to raise the
level of their income to 5,000 taka per month. Meanwhile,
the size of their family had increased to 5. Also, now they
had to send 2,000 taka each month to their parents in the
village. It was hard to support the family even though their
earning had increased several folds. It was around this time
Nasima heard about the Credit Program of SAJIDA. She
enrolled and took a loan of 3,000 taka. This was in 1989.
Now, Nasima and Shah Alam have a saving of 15,000 taka.
Their factory producing plastic toys and goods runs with a
capital of 64,000 taka. Nasima thus sets an example. With
initiative and assistance fate can be changed We hope that
the partnership of Nasima and SAJIDA will continue for many
more years and she and her family will continue to prosper.
