The programme aims to facilitate the economic inclusion of the country’s marginalised communities and create opportunities for the citizens to contribute towards a more equitable society through meaningful purchase.
Since Covid-19 has disrupted our usual day-to-day chains of activities, humankind has been compelled to follow certain health measures to contain the spread of the virus.
But the initial impact of the lockdowns and other regulations has weakened the economic balance for numerous communities, especially for those living on the fringes of the society.
Even after more than a year, the marginalised communities are still struggling today to make their ends meet amid the pandemic. Throughout the time, Prerona Foundation has remained active with its various development programmes and is working to provide necessary assistance, including capacity development and market linkage to provide these communities with livelihood opportunities.
As Prerona Foundation joins hands with Daraz Bangladesh, one of the leading online marketplaces in the country, it is expected that their team effort will further promote the concept of meaningful purchase.
