Md. Jalal Uddin Sheikh is a 56 year old man who has been forced to migrate to Dhaka city to find some income source for his financial adversities. He comes from 2 Hossainpur Union, Polashbari Thana, Gainbandha district. He had taken some loan to meet up the medical expense of his wife who has been suffering from acute diseases like diabetes, gall bladder stone etc. He also had to suspend his grocery shop due to lack of fund to procure inventory. Being baffled, he came to Dhaka and started pulling rickshaw to maintain his family and repay the installments of the loan he took with high interest rates.
JIBIKA has identified him as a genuine and potential beneficiary in need of financial assistance that can rebuild his livelihood wheel. An amount of Taka 10,000 was given to him to restart his grocery shop so that he does not have pull rickshaw any more in Dhaka and he can slowly manage to repay his loan based on the profit earned from his business.
