Work continues on PiCCA’s partnership project with Symbiosis in Bangladesh.
Since 2019, PiCCA has been partnering with the Symbiosis Foundation (SF) to facilitate the development of a community service hub in Kamrangirchor, Dhaka. The hub has been set up to enable the delivery of a range of much needed services to the community including pre-school education, vocational training, women’s self-help, health awareness clinics in dental health, eye health, and antenatal, safe birthing and postnatal care. Much of PiCCA’s contribution has assisted in the purchase of medical capital items
Following a change in community priorities, the component of PiCCA funds originally destined to support a driver training program have been redirected to support a sewing training program designed to increase employment opportunities for women. The program was inaugurated in 1 December 2020.
