Success Stories

Abdul Halim

Madhupur, Tangail

Farmers used to worry about potential crop damage during winter due to heavy fog. BURO Bangladesh’s Small and Marginal Farmers Support Project is working to change this concern by introducing a modern farming method. Farmers are already beginning to see the benefits, confidently cultivating winter crops without fear of loss.

Abdul Halim from Madhupur, for instance, experienced crop yellowing and stunted growth due to fog in previous winters. This year, however, his crops are thriving, demonstrating the transformative impact of the new techniques.

Alal Uddin

Kaidanga, Rajshahi

Facing the climate crisis in Rajshahi's Kaidanga village, Alal Uddin achieved three harvests in a year: Aman rice, mustard (BARI-17), and maize. Utilizing BURO Bangladesh’s relay cropping method, he planted mustard just before his rice harvest. In 85 days, he yielded an impressive 204 kg of mustard. This cost-effective, water-saving approach eliminated tilling and leveraged residual nutrients, reducing expenses and generating significant income from previously fallow land.

With Rajshahi's drought conditions hindering water-intensive crops like Boro rice, BURO promotes maize and mustard as sustainable alternatives. Alal’s success has inspired other farmers to adopt this method, paving the way for sustainable agriculture and increased earnings in the region.

Nasima Begum

Shyamnagar, Satkhira

Nasima Begum from Bhurulia village in Shyamnagar, Satkhira, has significantly improved the lives of people across several villages by tackling the local water crisis. In an area where women once walked long distances daily for clean water, Nasima, having faced the same hardship, became a beacon of hope. Starting with small-scale farming while her husband worked abroad, her ambition was to provide clean water to her community. Despite initial setbacks with a small purification plant, she persevered, joined BURO Bangladesh, secured a loan, and installed a modern water purification system.

Today, her plant supplies thousands of liters of affordable purified water daily to neighboring villages, even offering free water to those in need. Her dedication has not only made her self-sufficient but has also ensured access to safe drinking water for her entire community.
