ধন্যবাদ সব সুন্দর ছবি ও ইনফরমেশন এর জন্য।

মহিলা উদ্দোক্তাদের এমন সাপোর্ট অবশ্যই অনেক উপকারে আসবে বলে আশা রাখি।

এতো ক্রিয়েটিভ ডিজাইন এর ব্যাগ আছে, এর আগে জানাই ছিলো না।

What a wonderful story of an entrepreneur, a fighter, a hero. Loved reading your story @MahabubMunna . This story brought a lot of memories related to my own personal experiences. This is not just in Bangladesh, most of the women in any country go through this struggle of starting a business. Thanks for sharing a great story, Mahabub. I loved the fact that the 300 backpacks for the 7th anniversary is coming from her factory. Kudos to the great spirit! Kudos to women empowerment! Kudos to the financial freedom of women!
