Introducing Forgotten People Organization’s (FPO) New Empowerment Program:

“Adamjee’s Coaching Center for Seamstress”.

Our goal is to help empower the women of Adamjee Camp by coaching them on the basic tenants & techniques of sewing so they can start their own business as a seamstress to earn a living.

Thanks to FPO’s Main Seamstress, Mrs Rokeya Alom. Her expertise in sewing has taught these young ladies to make garments of all types.

Our "Home Improvement program"  aims to help families of Adamjee Camp build or repair their homes

  We rebuilt & repaired a total of 9 homes during the months of January   through March, 2019.  

Our "Water For Life Program" provides clean drinking water.  Three water wells provides to 450 individuals (90 families) daily.  

FPO's Community Eco-Toilets benefits 130 Family daily, which is an average of 780 people.  It is a sustainable solution for the camp dwellers as it provides a small income for selling the organic fertilizer to local farmers.  The Eco System method converts Human Excreta to Organic Fertilizer.  Thus eliminating the need of a sewage system for black water waste.  

FPO's Waste Management Program has numerous benefits for the camp dwellers of Adamjee as it leads to an improvement in their wellbeing. 

Meet Hira and Rawsan.  A great team that helps & continues to keep Adamjee Camp clean from waste by picking up each residential homes trash on a daily basis.

Hira & Rawsan are residents of Adamjee Camp and through FPO's Waste Management Program each family have contributed towards  their salary to keep their community clean from waste.
