Nari Jibon Project (Women’s Life) is a training programme. The objective of Nari Jibon is to provide alternative skills for women. Nari Jibon started its work from March 2005 in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Kathryn B Ward, a Professor of Sociology and Women’s Studies started this project. Funding has come from Executive Director, Kathryn B Ward and her mother Pat Ward and nominally from student admission fees and other donations. Staff are committed to do outreach and connecting students with possible jobs. We have urged staff to develop their own Bangla and English literacy, computer and tailoring skills. The Nari Jibon Project’s main goals are:
At present Nari Jibon is offering Bengali, English, tailoring, computer office program, computer repair, graphics & web design, ICT and photography classes. Before taking the computer class the students are taught English. Their levels of English are upgraded to 1, 1.5 and 2. Computer course includes teaching MS Office programs such as Word, Excel and graphics & web page design, and computer repair. Nari Jibon has established a blog in English, titled “Bangladesh from Our View” http://narijibon.blogspot.com and Bangla “Amader Galpa (Our Stories)” http://banglablog-narijibon.blogspot.com to increase students’ & staffs’ creativity on different areas. Nari Jibon’s blog efforts have resulted in a two year grant from Global/Rising Voices to improve students’ blogging skills, including interviews, photos, and video training. |
