Some are weaving yarn, while others are giving finishing touches to the toys and ensuring quality. The women discuss whose creations are the best, showcasing a sense of community and pride in their work.<\/p>\n<p>These toys, which are a special kind of doll, are safe for children even if they put them in their mouths. The demand for these handmade toys is growing in international markets, turning South Pachoun into a recognized name in toy-making.<\/p>\n<h3>Empowering Women Through Training<\/h3>\n<p>The Climate Resilient Ecosystems and Livelihood (CREL) program has been instrumental in training local women, including school and college students, on how to make these toys. The training, which lasts two months, equips them with the skills to start earning from home.<\/p>\n<p>CREL communication officer Ilias Mahmud Polash confirmed, \u201cWe have provided two-month-long training to the women of the village, and now they are earning money from the comfort of their homes.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Stories of Resilience and Creativity<\/h3>\n<p>Rita Rani, one of the toy makers, shared her experience: \u201cI make dolls during my leisure time, working three to four hours in the afternoon. It\u2019s enjoyable work, and the income helps my family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mohua, a college student, added, \u201cI work here for three hours after my college classes. I always try to create different types of toys for children. Many of my college friends are also part of this initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jobeda, another worker, explained the complexity of the craft: \u201cMaking toys isn\u2019t easy. We create various designs, including octopus, caterpillar, giraffe, and owl. During our training, we learned to make about 200 types of toys.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>A Pathway to Prosperity<\/h3>\n<p>Md. Maniruzzaman, a CREL official, highlighted the program&#8217;s structure: \u201cWe divided the women into two groups and provided them with separate training sessions. The initiative is aimed at improving their livelihoods.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the women receive all materials, including yarn, free of cost and are paid Taka 30 for each octopus-shaped toy they make. \u201cIf they continue working, they can earn Taka 20,000 to 30,000 per month,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<h3>Global Reach<\/h3>\n<p>These specially crafted toys are now exported to 37 countries worldwide. Maniruzzaman stated that around 80 percent of the products are sent to major markets like the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia.<\/p>\n<p>The success of these women showcases how targeted training and support can transform lives, creating opportunities for economic independence and global recognition for local craftsmanship.<\/p>\n<p>Corporatenews24\/Jubair<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DHAKA, Jan 11, 2025 : Women in South Pachoun village of Srimangal upazila in Moulvibazar district have achieved self-reliance by making toys, earning not only for their families but also foreign currency as their handmade toys are sold to children both in Bangladesh and abroad.
