As Bangladesh’s leading travel-tech and lifestyle company, ShareTrip is committed to driving social change beyond travel. In pursuit of a more inclusive and equitable future, ShareTrip has partnered with Give Bangladesh on two transformative initiatives—Project Lorai and Project Konna. These projects focus on economic empowerment and health awareness in marginalsed communities, reinforcing ShareTrip’s vision of sustainable progress in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Project Lorai
Project Lorai focuses on providing equitable access to economic opportunities for marginalised women, specifically in areas like Gaibandha and Sundarbans. The goal is to reduce gender and social bias in Bangladesh’s economy and foster financial independence among disadvantaged populations. Through empowering women and other marginalized communities, this project can boost long-term economic development in remote areas.
Key Activities:
- Sewing Training Facility (Purbo-Poshchim Campaign): Establishing a full-scale sewing training center to equip women with sustainable skills.
- Sustainable Livelihood for Tiger-Widows (Gorbhodharibni Campaign): Supporting widows of Sundarbans tiger victims through income-generating opportunities.
