ENRICH (Enhancing Resources and Increasing Capacities of Poor Households towards Elimination of their Poverty) is Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation’s (PKSF) multifaceted flagship program on poverty eradication at the household level. Since 2018, Shakti Foundation has been working as one of PKSF's partner organizations in the Majidpur Union of Titas Upazilla in the Cumilla District.
Under this program, our organization has been conducting socio-economic activities related to education, skills training, health services, food security and nutrition, asset creation, climate change adaptation and awareness raising in the target area. The objective is to increase income and quality of life as well as champion sustainability in the area. A total of 69 staff including program, health & teachers are serving the 37,549 residents of this area.
ENRICH Homes
Our aim is to convert each household within the Union into an ENRICH home where the homestead land can be best utilized for income generating purposes such as vegetable and/or fruit gardening, spice cultivation, livestock rearing, and poultry farming. In addition, each ENRICH home is equipped with a sanitary latrine and a tube well to safeguard hygiene and prevent the spread of diseases.
