Echo Feed the Hungry Project 2025 – 400 Hot Meals Served with Love On 13 August 2025, the Echo Feed the Hungry Project 2025 reached another milestone of compassion and care. In the heart of our community, 400 hot meal packs were distributed to individuals living on the streets and families who struggle to secure even one meal a day. Each meal was more than just food — it was a symbol of hope, dignity, and humanity. For many, it meant going to bed without the pain of hunger for the first time in days. This life-changing initiative is implemented by AMAN and supported by ECHO USA, driven by the belief that no one should be left behind. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to ensure that every person, regardless of their circumstances, has access to a warm and nourishing meal. As the smiles lit up faces and hands reached out in gratitude, we were reminded that small acts of kindness can create waves of change. These 400 meals didn’t just fill stomachs — they warmed hearts and restored faith in humanity. Together, we can fight hunger. Together, we can build a future where everyone has enough to eat.

Sewing Machine Distribution Program
A Milestone in Women’s Empowerment On February 14, 2025, Aman and its dedicated team, in collaboration with the Bibi Hajira Skill Development Center, successfully organized the Sewing Machine Distribution Program (1446/2025) at Sher-E-Bangla Nagar Govt. Girls’ High School. This program aimed to empower women by providing them with both the necessary vocational training and sewing machines, thereby helping them achieve financial independence and contribute to their families’ well-being. The program saw the distribution of 1,200 sewing machines, generously donated by the Al-Imdaad Foundation, to women who had completed their training at the center. A Collaborative Effort for Women’s Empowerment This initiative represents a significant step toward empowering women by equipping them with both skills and tools to start their own businesses. The sewing machines will allow beneficiaries to work from home, take tailoring orders, and generate a steady income, improving their quality of life. The program was made possible through a generous donation from Dr. Imraan Hassim and the Al-Imdaad Foundation, whose continuous support in humanitarian and development projects has made a profound impact on the lives of many. Aman, committed to reducing poverty and fostering self-reliance, played an integral role in organizing and executing this event, ensuring its success. Bibi Hajira Skill Development Center: A Hub for Learning The Bibi Hajira Skill Development Center, established to provide vocational training to women from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, offers structured courses in tailoring, fabric cutting, stitching, and embroidery. This training is designed to equip women with the skills they need to start their own businesses and become financially independent. For many of the women enrolled, this program is a pathway to break free from financial struggles and create a sustainable future for themselves and their families. 1,200 Sewing Machines Distributed to Skilled Beneficiaries The highlight of the event was the distribution of 1,200 sewing machines, donated by the Al-Imdaad Foundation, to trained women. These machines will help beneficiaries set up their own tailoring businesses and take on local orders, contributing to their financial independence. How the Beneficiaries Will Benefit: Self-Employment Opportunities: Women can start their own tailoring businesses, take orders from local businesses, and provide custom services. Financial Stability: The income from their sewing work will help them cover household expenses, support their children’s education, and improve their overall living standards. Work-from-Home Flexibility: Many of the beneficiaries are mothers and caregivers. Having a sewing machine at home allows them to balance work with family responsibilities. Aman’s Role: Organizing & Facilitating the Program Aman played a key role in organizing and facilitating the event, from selecting deserving beneficiaries to ensuring the smooth execution of the program. Aman’s commitment to empowering women through skill development and its extensive network of partners and volunteers helped make this event a success. Aman has been actively involved in reducing poverty through various initiatives, including education, health services, vocational training, and food assistance. This sewing machine distribution program is in line with Aman’s mission to provide resources and opportunities for self-reliance, particularly among underprivileged women. Al-Imdaad Foundation: A Generous Contribution to Women’s Empowerment The Al-Imdaad Foundation, a long-time partner of Aman, generously donated all 1,200 sewing machines to this initiative. Their contribution is instrumental in helping these women transform their lives by providing them with the tools necessary to become financially independent. During the event, Dr. Imraan Hassim, a representative from the Al-Imdaad Foundation, delivered an inspiring speech, emphasizing: Self-Reliance: Encouraging beneficiaries to use their new skills to build a stable income for themselves. The Importance of Skill Development: Highlighting how vocational training programs help reduce poverty and uplift communities.

Winter Clothes Program
A Step Towards Better Health for All The Rohingya Crisis: As the Rohingya crisis enters its sixth year in Bangladesh, nearly one million refugees continue to face extreme hardships. A significant portion of these refugees, including those living in Cox’s Bazar, suffer from disabilities (1%) and severe medical conditions (0.38%). A large number of children are acutely malnourished (12%) and chronically malnourished (41%). Additionally, refugees live in precarious conditions, vulnerable to natural disasters such as fires, cyclones, and monsoons, with inadequate shelter. The majority of the population consists of women, children, and the elderly, with 52% of the refugees being women and girls and more than half being children. Aims and Objectives: Through the “Winter Relief Program 2023-24,” AMAN (Association for Mass Advancement Network) aimed to support vulnerable Rohingya refugee families in Cox’s Bazar and Netrokona districts by providing 640+216 winter relief packages. The program focused on delivering essential supplies to help these families survive the harsh winter conditions. Outcomes: A total of 854 winter relief packages were distributed, including 640 packages in Cox’s Bazar and 214 in Netrokona. Each package contained the following items: 1 Blanket 1 Children’s Hoodie 1 Man’s Shawl 1 Woman’s Shawl 1 Mosquito Net 1 Winter Cap 1 Pair of Baby Socks The distribution of these items significantly improved the physical comfort of the refugees, reducing the incidence of cold-related illnesses and promoting overall well-being. The mosquito nets contributed to the prevention of Dengue and other communicable diseases, especially in Camp 12. This initiative brought relief and improved the living conditions of the selected beneficiary families, spreading contentment in the communities of Cox’s Bazar and Netrokona. Project Title: Winter Relief Program 2023-24 Implementing Organization: AMAN (Association for Mass Advancement Network) Locations: Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh (Rohingya Refugee Camp 12) Netrokona, Bangladesh (Barotoli Banihari Union, Mohongonj Upazila, Nagaon) Duration: 5th Dec 2023 – 4th Jan 2024 (Cox’s Bazar) 6th Dec 2024 (Netrokona) Target Communities: The program focused on the most vulnerable populations, including 640 families in Cox’s Bazar’s makeshift Camp 12, who are socially, economically, and culturally disadvantaged. Additionally, 214 families in Netrokona, who face vulnerability during the winter season, were included. Number of Beneficiaries: The total number of families served by the program was 854, with an average of 5 members per family, resulting in a total of 4,270 beneficiaries. Budget and Funding: The project received a total of US$ 20,000 for the winter relief efforts in both Cox’s Bazar and Netrokona. Cost Breakdown: Item Unit Cost (USD) Quantity Total Cost (USD) Blanket 4.62 854 3,947.06 Hoodie (Children) 2.94 854 2,511.76 Shawl (Man) 4.79 854 3,588.24 Shawl (Woman) 4.29 854 3,660.00 Mosquito Net 3.74 854 3,193.33 Winter Cap 0.84 854 717.65 Baby Socks 0.42 854 338.82 Other Expenses 0.25 854 215.29 Total 20,011.59 The total cost per relief package was USD 23.43, with a total project cost of USD 20,011.59. Way Forward: Due to funding limitations, only 640 families in the Rohingya camp received winter relief assistance. However, many more families remain affected and are in dire need of support. In the future, it would be highly beneficial to expand the relief efforts to include these excluded families in the next year’s program.
