Help raise money for sewing training program in Bangladesh to aid Rohingya women in learning a life skill.


Empower Bangladeshi women through sewing training program

 Many households are devastated by poverty and unemployment in Bangladesh. Women, especially those who are the heads of their households, are often among the poorest of the poor in Bangladesh. Women have few opportunities to earn income and are often discriminated against in the workforce.  A small amount of money and proper tools can help these women start a small business and help them survive on a monthly basis. Bangladesh has a large textile industry and stitching garments is one job that is still valued and needed in Bangladesh. By providing women in need with sewing machines and training we can empower them to support themselves.

Your contribution can empower Bangladeshi women to provide for themselves and their families.

Basmah's Sewing Machine Project:

Update Feb 11, 2019:

Basmah Foundation have set up sewing machine training and distribution program for women in need in Bangladesh. Basmah Foundation provides them with sewing machines and the skills needed to get a small business started in their household. We are running three sewing machine training centres at Lalmonirhat, Dinajpur and Teknaf, Bangladesh. We believe this dual pronged approach, providing free sewing machines as well as three months of training will empower them to create a stream of income for themselves and their families. 
This sewing machine center serves as a dual blessing. It provides a training cum employment opportunity to women in Bangladesh as well as the garments manufactured at these centers are sent to Rohingya refugee camps where they are distributed for free.

Alhamdulillah! In short period of time, women at these training centers have started manufacturing school uniforms for Rohingya children who are studying at Basmah Children Care Center.

How can I help?

We calculated the cost to provide one woman a sewing machine and training to be $175 USD. Each sewing machine costs $125 and training costs $50. You can choose to support as many women as you would like. We appreciate every dollar we can raise for this cause and if you are unable to sponsor one whole machine and training for one woman then you can contribute a smaller amount which we will pool with other contributions. Please spread the word about this campaign to anyone you think would be interested. With your support we can brighten these women's lives.

THE OPPORTUNITY TO MULTIPLY THE AMAL & SEDAQAH IN THE FINAL NIGHTS OF RAMADAN


AsSalamu'alaikum wbt,

May this update reaches you in good health and Imaan.

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

We would like to seek your 1 minute to read this email till the end.

Thank you for supporting us at BASMAH USA in our previous and current projects. 
On this 5 final days of the blessed Ramadan, grab this opportunity to multiply your amal & sadaqah. An act of worship in this holy month is multiply by 10 times.

The Prophet (pbuh) is narrated to have said:

“Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah will receive a hasanah (good deed) from it (i.e. his recitation), and the hasanah is multiplied by ten. I do not say that Alif-Laam-Meem is (considered as) a letter, rather Alif is a letter, Laam is a letter, and Meem is a letter.” [At-Tirmidhi, Ad-Darimi]

What if the act of amal & sadaqah in done during the Layla al Qadr? The night of 1,000 months? 
MashaAllah. We can't imagine how big is the multiply effect? and more over the Prophet (pbuh) is described to have been extra generous during the Blessed Month. During this Ramadan we already achieved few of our campaign goals. Thank you for your endless support.

However, we are seeking your support to donate us as little as $2.00.

Yes only $2.00!!! 

With your donation, we will put smiles on their face during this Eid by providing them new clothes for Eid.

We are targeting to provide Eid Clothes for 1600 Rohingya kids in refugee camp in Cox Bazaar. Allahu Akbar!
May Allah rewards your kindly soul with Jannatul Firdaus. 
Thank you for supporting us.
