As part of Summit’s commitment to improving the livelihoods of local communities, the largest infrastructure conglomerate of Bangladesh has committed to extending its Livelihood Enhancement Plan (LEP).
Building on the success of the first phase of LEP, SLNG has extended the project for an additional year, running till September 2026.
The first phase of the Livelihood Enhancement Plan (LEP) was implemented from 2020 to 2024 in partnership with Young Power in Social Action (YPSA).
SLNG provided skills development for 1,591 beneficiaries, and grants of about Tk 1.0 crore were disbursed.
The individuals are primarily small-scale fishermen operating boats from the areas of Ghotibhanga, Sonadia, Tajiakata, and Nayapara. Men received vocational training on boat repair, along with toolkits, earning an average of Tk 9,000 to 12,000 per month. Similarly, women were given training on tailoring and electric sewing machines.
SLNG undertook a comprehensive renovation of the Sonadia Government Primary School of about Tk 40 Lakh and handed it over to the Upazila Education Officer (UEO).
The event was attended by officials from both organizations.
