Rabeya begum has managed a regular income for her disabled son
The Husband of Rabeya Begum (65) died 24 years ago. He had left behind their 2 daughters, 7 sons and 10 decimals housing land. All their children are living there along with Rabeya. Her husband was an agriculture labourer and couldn’t afford to educate them. The two daughters are working as maid servant and sons are agriculture labourer like their father. Rabeya is staying with her 5th child Shafiar Rahman who has birth defect in both legs and couldn’t walk without assistance. He has one son (4 years old) and was operating a small shop in nearby village market of Chengutia of Avaynogor upazila under Jashore district. He used to only sell tea and biscuits and lived in hand to mouth condition. In 2014 Rabeya Begum got the membership of Ujjibito project and managed donation of BDT 8,000 for her disabled son to expand the shop. At the beginning Shafiar added some soap, shampoo, candy, cake, salts etc. in his shop and later took loan from JCF to repair the shop. Now he has a wooden shop with tin roof and increased daily sell. There is a auto rice mill near his shop who are the main customers, so he has to operate the shop from dawn to late night. Rabeya and his son are now very happy to manage all the family expenses along with treatment cost of them by the income of the hop.
