Josna Akter, a mother in Chandpur, Bangladesh, turned her dream of financial independence into reality with EmpowerHer Bangladesh, SNAD Foundation’s women empowerment program. She received free sewing training and her own sewing machine, learning skills from basic stitching to advanced garment design.
With newfound confidence, Josna launched a home-based tailoring business, serving friends, family, and her growing customer base. Today, her business thrives, helping her provide for her son and inspiring other women in her community.
EmpowerHer Bangladesh equips low-income women with skills, tools, and support to start small businesses, achieve financial independence, and foster socio-economic change. Josna’s journey shows how targeted training and mentorship can transform lives, promote gender equality, and create lasting impact across Bangladesh.
