SONGJUKTA

About This Project

SONGJUKTA: Empowering Women Entrepreneurs, is a flagship initiative of the Songjog Foundation dedicated to driving Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) development among rural women and housewives across Bangladesh.

SONGJUKTA aims to uplift rural women and housewives across Bangladesh by fostering Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) development. We deeply understand the incredible potential that lies within traditional skills and crafts, which is why SONGJUKTA goes beyond just basic training. We offer a comprehensive support system that includes hands-on skills development, essential financial assistance, and ongoing mentorship.

By supporting entrepreneurship at the grassroots level, we strive to empower women, enabling them to achieve economic independence and strengthen their roles as leaders within their families and communities.
