Md. Nasir Uddin's Story

As a day laborer, Nasir’s pay was very low. However, he sent his son abroad after starting his scrap business. He realized, the scrap business is a huge sector and invested money. He shared saying, “I visited Chattogram and learned how this sector works. I immediately saw a business opportunity and went with my guts.”

He feels grateful for the training UNDP provided with the help of Practical Action. After the training, he gained more experience and more investments. “The grant money helped me to sustain my business”, added Nurul. According to him, this association is a good opportunity and a good initiative for people like him.

Everybody started respecting me after I joined the association and my business got better with the grace of Almighty Allah. I even got the grant money with the help from a brother from this association and expanded my business.
