During our journey, I met women who were delighted to share their stories. Jahanara was very proud to share her story on her achievements utilising one of the small micro finance loans provided by BRAC. The dhabi loan provided Jahanara the investment to build her home and she was keen to show her asset, the cow she bought too.
The improvements to Jahanara’s home alongside her asset was an outcome pleased to see. Jahanara developed business skills and self-confidence, it was rewarding to see her smile continuously.
I had the opportunity to talk to the other women on the benefits of having micro finance loans and the segments they had selected for themselves.
Jahanara and the rest of the Bangladeshi women made me feel very welcome. My only regret was not being able to spend more time with them. It was fantastic to see such engaged Bangladeshi women with independence.
