Seema Akhter's family was fighting with scarcity and poverty. Seema Akhter was living with great difficulty with her three children in the family of her day laborer husband. Not being able to get enough rice for the children for three days, the difficulty of not being able to get the children's school expenses properly was pushing him towards frustration day by day.
Seema Akhter lives with her husband in a two-storey tin house on her brother-in-law's land in Baddapara village, Ward 2, Sadar Union, Sarail Upazila.
Just when the poverty-stricken Seema Akhter was in trouble, she found out about the government's VGD program from a neighbor. She applied to become a VGD member in the office of the Upazila Women's Affairs Officer in collaboration with a local member. Based on her application, considering the financial situation, she was nominated as a member of VGD 2019-2020 cycle for 24 months from the Upazila Women's Affairs Office. Since then, Seema Akhter regularly gets 30 kg of rice per month. After getting VGD rice, his family's food shortage was alleviated and he was motivated to save. He received training by participating in various skill development training programs conducted for VGD members by the Social Upliftment Society (SAS) NGO. At the end of the training, he started working to gradually overcome the lack of family by applying the knowledge gained from the training. He got success by keeping chickens and cultivating vegetables in his backyard
Seema Akhter said, “Before, my family was always in need. I could not feed my children for three days. So they suffer from malnutrition. I could not pay for their education properly. I was thinking all the time. My family's well-being has been on the rise since the VGD member war. I have been training through the Social Upliftment Society (SAS) to raise poultry and raise vegetables so that I can meet my family's nutritional needs and sell them. I have benefited financially. At present my two daughters and one son are studying. I'm better than before. My family is doing well. I thank the Prime Minister. "
