Opportunity for Women in Renewable Energy Technology Use in Bangladesh. This was initiated in 1999 with $175,000 from ESMAP as a project in Char Montaz, a coastal island in Bangladesh, with technical assistance from Prokaushali Sangsad Ltd (PSL). South Asia Partnership, Bangladesh, an NGO provided initial support in social mobilization and micro-credit. The project provided skill and renewable energy technology training to 32 poor women in Char Montaz and assited them in establishing the Coastal Women's Electrification and Development Microenterprise, which now has become a SME with 117 employees.
Diversification: Initially, it was assembling of DC lamps and providing services through battery charging station. Now the SME has moved to assembling CFL and LED lamps, controllers and inverters of solar home system (SHS) and mobile phone chargers. It has provided SHS to almost 30,000 households, small enterprises and markets in coastal areas, where grid electrification is not a feasible option.
The lessons from this project was taken into a larger project: Bangladesh Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Development ($200m). In this project, nearly 200,000 SHS are provided to poor households in remote areas. Grameen Shaki, Srijani, TMSS and other NGOs learnt from this project and made micro-finance available to the poor households for SHS. The World Bank

I have heard this problem with local imams b4 with other projects.. there is nothing haram at all about learning skills to support your families through halal means.. these "traditionalist - fultoli" idiots know nothing about the deen & hold back the development of the country even more than the corrupt goverments & officlas who line thier pockets with aid money ment for the destitiute... I hope they all drop dead.. To educate a mother is to educate a people "kids, grand kids & so forth"

Bangladesh is most populated country in the world. It also hold record for most disastrous calamities. The religious stupids in Bangladesh should preach to reduce population growth and contribute to growth of a nation. Are you listening, bastards.

naziur, smash the doors of those who preach to have more children. For your information bangladeshis are the cheapest workforce in Gulf countries. Wake up and do something which u r nation needs., simply answering like a dog does not bring good to your nation. wake up.
