“If we get a permanent shelter, we will send our two sons to school,” said Rongila, a Bede woman.
The Bede, a gypsy-like ethnic community is among the most underprivileged and marginalised groups in the country.
Rongila is a mother of two sons – 5-year old Akash and 3-year old Robiul. Her husband, Alauddin, is a monkey and snake charmer.
The four-member Bede family now lives in a ‘Jhupri Ghor’ (a very tiny traditional makeshift abode of Water Gypsy) at Badedihi village under Barabazar Union in Kaliganj upazila of Jhenaidah district as do other Bede families.
The Bede woman has recently shared her dream with this correspondent as her family is going to get a permanent house with a two-decimal land as a gift from Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Describing Ashrayan project as Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s model for inclusive development, he said, “The living standard of a person improves radically (after getting a permanent house). It will help implement eight targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).”
Earlier, a total of 117,329 pucca-houses with two-decimal lands were provided to the landless and homeless people as the gift of the Prime Minister under Ashrayan-2 project in the first two phases in 2021 on the occasion of Mujib Year.
