Poverty is not just a lack of income — it is the absence of opportunity. For millions in Bangladesh’s remote and marginalized communities, traditional income sources are fragile, seasonal, and often unsustainable. At Aloshikha, we believe that empowering people with sustainable livelihoods is one of the most effective ways to break the cycle of poverty and dependency.
Our Livelihood Program provides individuals — particularly women and youth — with the skills, resources, and confidence to generate income, become financially independent, and contribute to their local economies. We combine vocational training with entrepreneurship support, financial literacy, and market linkage to create a comprehensive model for long-term economic growth.
Aloshikha offers hands-on training in trades such as tailoring, embroidery, electronics repair, poultry farming, handicrafts, and mobile servicing. These skills are selected based on local market demand to ensure employment or self-employment upon completion.
We support smallholder farmers with seeds, tools, and training in sustainable farming practices. This includes training on organic methods, crop diversification, integrated pest management, and access to community farming equipment.
Understanding money is key to escaping poverty. We conduct financial literacy workshops and promote savings groups, especially for women, to build habits of budgeting, saving, and managing small investments.
Aloshikha provides start-up kits, small grants, and mentoring to help individuals launch or expand microenterprises. We also help build market connections so that products and services reach buyers beyond the village.
To ensure sustainability, we promote eco-friendly livelihoods such as organic farming, compost production, solar-powered enterprises, and handicrafts made from natural materials.
3,000+ individuals trained in vocational and income-generating skills
60% of beneficiaries are women
1,200+ microbusinesses initiated or scaled
200+ farmers supported with tools and climate-resilient agricultural practices

We work with local government departments, technical training institutes, business mentors, and financial service providers to ensure that our livelihood programs are skill-oriented, market-ready, and sustainable. Beneficiaries are actively involved in designing training modules and choosing enterprise models.
As Bangladesh’s economy evolves, Aloshikha aims to introduce more digital skills, e-commerce training, and value-chain development. We plan to integrate youth innovation labs and women-led cooperatives that can function as community enterprises, building prosperity from within.
Through sustainable livelihoods, we are not just improving incomes — we are restoring dignity, confidence, and dreams.
