Risks of the action and minimizing risks

The project may face following risks:

1) Risk: Our target group is female of age 14-45 years of poor and ultra poor underprivileged family. Most of the members of such family are uneducated. They may have wrong cultural and religious beliefs. They try to hide their young aged daughter in houses. In some cases they may not allow their daughter, wife to come out from the house ant get the opportunity.

 Overcome: Our volunteers and employee will counsel the people of such family.

2) Risk: Some beneficiaries of our target age group may get marriage before finishing the training and droop out may occur. 

Overcome: We will counsel them to continue the training.

3) Risk: Irregular Absence, break of attendance, droops out may occur from beneficiaries’ side.

Overcome: Counseling, presenting the importance of the training may prevent such risk.       

4) Risk: Experienced and skilled trainer may not be available for appointment.

Overcome: Formal and informal publicity will be done for appointment.

5) Risk: Distributed loan may not recover properly. There is a possibility of loan loss.

Overcome: The organization has 9(nine) years practical experience on Microcredit project that would help to run loan activities properly and hence reduce loan loss provision.

6) Risk: The beneficiaries who will start small business may fail to run their business profitably due to lack of experience on business. Thus they may loss their capital.

Overcome: Closed supervision with them will be kept and required technical support will be given by the organization so that they run business smoothly.

Innovativeness of the Program 

Such a project is very rare in our country. This project is designed in such a way that the beneficiaries who don’t like to come out from their house, need not to come out , we will give them training reaching to their house door. Our volunteer and employee will go to their house and build up a group with female of similar mentality so that the beneficiaries need not to go out from their local boundary.

On the other hand, without literacy no training will be effective. In our country, most of the female are illiterate but no effective action like this project is seen for them. This project will be helpful to empower the illiterate female in the family and in the society equally. This will reduce violence to woman in their families, the society and the state. 

The training will be practical oriented that will help the participant to be skill in dress making.

From overall point of the, the project carries new idea, effective actions and is suitable for the socioeconomic condition of the country.

The project is designed in such a way that the organization will provide loan and technical support to the beneficiaries who will have taken training for establishing small business. Thus, they have opportunity for apply the knowledge training in income generating sector.

Sustainability:

After being the project finished, we will have fixed assets, like machinery, tools etc. that will be used for continuing the training.

Using the remaining fixed asset (residual after the project) we might offer similar training to solvent interested people who will get training in paying basis. Thus a reasonable income will come. This income will be utilized for further continuation of the project/ similar types of projects.

We will offer jobs to the beneficiaries in our office. If they agree to join, we will then go for production. Produced dresses will be sold in local market. Thus we will earn a mentionable amount. 

We have micro credit project that is being continuously run. We will offer the trained beneficiaries to take more micro credit loan to run business in large volume.

Thus getting income from such mentioned sector the project may run further successfully.
