E) Brief description of the community/group submitting the project:
The poor and ultra poor community/group of Sobuj Bangla Unnayan
Sangstha(SBUS) who are living in rural of Gobindagonj and Polashbari upazila under
Gaibandha District.
Gaibandha is a northern district of Bangladesh comprised of 7 Upazilas, 82 Unions
and 2 municipalities with an area of 2,179 sq. km. Brahmaputra, Tista, Jamuna and
Karotoa have crisscrossed the district. As a result, natural calamities including
monsoon flood; draught, river erosion, cold wave, tornado etc. are common
occurrences in this district.
About 64% people are poor including extreme poor, poor and tribal ethnicities living
in this upazila. Tribal families are living here in this upazila very inhumanly as if they
are simply trivial minority. The literacy rate of this Upazila is very poor and about 99%
women in remote areas are fully belonged illiterate. 10.5% disable people in this are
living with insufficient opportunity or accessibility including disable women and
children. The disable children are very deprived from their basic fundamental rights
like primary education, food and nutrition and recreation. On the other hand, women
and girls are the victims of early marriage, polygamy, divorces, dowry, rapping and
many other kinds of physical torture as well as domestic violence due to lack of
education, economical deprivation along with influence of religious bound and
prejudice of the society. They are the victims of dual exploitation both by poverty and
gender discrimination. Rich & influential people always take chances to exploit
women physically, mentally and even economically. At the family level women
including children are sometime fully denied from rights. Though now a day, women
are encouragingly involve in different income generating activities by the sole support

of different local and national level NGOs but these are no sufficient according to the
demand as the productive and reproductive rate also not adequate. Yet, most of the
extreme poor have to depend to the local moneylender to meet up their need. Yet,
around (80-85)% extreme poor of the poor communities are fully unable to manage
food three times in a day. According to SBUS’s observation and survey, they have to
pass very critically during Monga (seasonal food crisis) when they have to take credit
form local moneylenders with high rate of service charges or take advance money on
labouring. Children are sent to laboring instead of sending school. Student
attendance in primary school is less than 43%. Economic disparity among poor and
rich is very high and leadership of poor is rarely viewed. Government Service
provider institutions including Department of Health, Livestock, Education and Union
Parishad are not accountable and transparent enough to provide their service
deliveries. Consequently, poor and poorest people who are living in distanced and
remote areas could not get the services which they deserve. Especially family
education and health status of services is very poor due to communication difficulties.
However, now a days, due to frequent intervention of different Local, National,
International NGOs are working to address different development issues except
family education, primary education for children like as broader scale on education,
health, livelihood oriented agriculture, disaster management as so on.
Above such circumstances, Sobuj Bangla Unnayan Sangstha (SBUS) came to the
poor people close with particular emphasis to bring out positive changes at the
family, society as well as national level. SBUS realized that solidarity, socialization,
proper education, massive awareness and women empowerment are very prior to
develop to change the condition and position of rural children, men and women.

a large portion of total population are occupied with agriculture, some others
are occupied with rickshaw and van pulling, labour, and some are occupied
with small trades and business. Disable people are also neglected and
derived who are generally occupied with labouring in agriculture sectors.
People of the targeted areas are remaining poor and uneducated due to deep

Problem Identification and Needs Assessment:
Though the Gobindagonj and Polashbari upazila is the biggest Upazila of
Gaibandha district but only 64% people are poor including extreme poor, poor
and disable people living in the upazila. Disable families are living here in this
upazila very inhumanly as if they are simply trivial minority. The literacy rate
of the Upazila is very poor and about 99% women in remote areas are fully
belonged illiterate. On the other hand, women and girls are the victims of
early marriage, polygamy, divorces, dowry, rapping and many other kinds of
physical torture as well as domestic violence due to economical deprivation
along with influence of religious bound and prejudice of the society. They are
the victims of dual exploitation both by poverty and gender discrimination.
Rich & influential people always take chances to exploit women physically,
mentally and even economically. At the family level women including children
are sometime fully denied from rights. Socio-economic status of this upazila is
also very poor as a large portion of total population are occupied with
agriculture, some others are occupied with rickshaw and van pulling, labour,
and some are occupied with small trades and business. Disable people are
also neglected and derived who are generally occupied with labouring in
agriculture sectors. People of the targeted areas are remaining poor and
uneducated due to deep lack of awareness, lack of information opportunities
and lack of employment. Though local level employment opportunities are
exists but which is so poor according to the need of the localities.
People of the proposed areas are fully ignored from education, health and
effective services from different government and non-governmental service
providers. They are fully incapable to negotiate their actual needs with others
because of lack of information, shame, awareness, and skill. Furthermore,
local government structures are also very weak. SBUS carefully observes that
though many NGOs are working effectively, yet there prevail some problems
regarding the target people’s empowerment, capacity building, active
participation etc. According to assessment of the organization, there are
significant level gaps are prevailing in relation to the overall development of
the targeted people. There are great leakage in the process of solidarity,
socialization, proper education, massive awareness and women
empowerment. Due to inadequate education facilities, many children are
being deprived from education as well as due to innate level of unawareness
most of the parents engage their children in their household affairs or in
income generation activities. As a result, rate of drop out from primary
education increased.
Being realized, SBUS felt the necessity to undertake a integrated initiative
through Paribar O Saisab Bikash Padakkhep(POSBP) to create awareness in
terms of people’s education, relationship, social performance, family and
social law with especial emphasizes to empower the women as well as to
upholds the rights of girl children.

e) Risk Analysis of the Project:
Early childhood development is the vast issues in current situation of
Bangladesh. Every children those who are deprived from primary
education living in remote rural areas. Near about 85% parents of the
children are illiterate and they are maintaining in lower income status.
Maximum 18-20 hours in day they have to work for earning. So the target
people of the project are not right situation to implement the project. On
the other hand, most of the parents are satisfied in small income.
Considering the lower income, it is not possible to provide sufficient
nutrition, health care facility, education tools facility, dress facility, heavy
food facility, recreation and games arrangement facility etc. So the
parents are not interested to take more plan for further development of
their children. So as a result, it is difficult to work with them and take any
plan for the children are not easy.
During the implementation of the project, there are many risks in
association with key activities but SBUS believes and has experiences to
overcome together with all project stakeholders. SBUS has extended
people’s trusteeship about to implement the project as it has
experimentally implemented in some areas. SBUS will be able to
understand the project stakeholders about the concepts and theme of the
project to scope with any kinds of risks.
Analysis the above mentioned problem, we have to take action plan on
considering the following below:
• Child education will continue in morning at 7.00am to 9.00am in
every "Poribar O Saisob Bikash Kendra(POSBK)"
• Child forum activity will be continued after completion of the daily
lesson of education.
• To be worked with the mother group at evening, considering their
working hour.
• To be worked with father group at night, considering their working
hour.
• Applying PRA methored, we have to take action plan for
implementing the project activity.
