Under the visionary leadership of Muhammad Raj, Director of the Hafezzi Charitable Society of Bangladesh (HCSB), Project: Self Reliance has emerged as a transformative initiative aimed at uplifting the lives of poor and marginalized individuals in rural Bangladesh. This impactful project focuses on turning dependency into productivity by empowering underprivileged communities with the tools and resources they need to become self-sufficient.
One of the project’s core efforts is empowering women through the distribution of sewing machines. These machines enable village women to launch home-based tailoring businesses, allowing them to contribute to their household income while gaining economic independence and dignity.
Through this initiative, women in rural communities receive cows, goats, and poultry to engage in small-scale livestock farming. This approach not only strengthens their household economy but also ensures food security through the production of milk, eggs, and meat.
To support male members of struggling families, the project provides auto rickshaws and vans, enabling them to start transport-based businesses. These vehicles become a stable source of income, significantly improving the living standards of entire families.
In addition to equipment, Project: Self Reliance extends financial assistance and essential resources to help families kickstart business ventures or respond to immediate needs. This multifaceted support encourages long-term independence and economic resilience.
Thanks to the dedication of Muhammad Raj and the team at HCSB, this project has brought meaningful changes to hundreds of families across rural Bangladesh. Key outcomes include:
Poverty Reduction: By creating jobs and income-generating opportunities, the project helps reduce poverty in hard-hit areas.
Women’s Empowerment: Empowering women strengthens families and communities, allowing for a more inclusive social structure.
Local Economic Growth: Promoting local production and services fuels the micro-economy and benefits the wider region.
As Director of the Hafezzi Charitable Society, Muhammad Raj envisions a nation where every impoverished person has the means to build a better life. The goal is clear: to foster self-reliance, dignity, and opportunity, one family at a time.
Through Project: Self Reliance, HCSB is not just offering charity — it is enabling change and cultivating a future of hope, empowerment, and economic freedom.
The project’s success has not gone unnoticed. National and local media have covered Project: Self Reliance, recognizing its lasting impact on the lives of rural communities. These stories are a testament to the tireless efforts of Muhammad Raj and his commitment to social welfare.
You can be part of this mission. Whether by volunteering your time or contributing financially, your support can change lives and help expand the reach of this impactful initiative. Let’s build a stronger, more self-reliant Bangladesh — together.
