“My whole family work in garments so I have to work at garments otherwise what will people say”- with a very smiley face Summa Khatun , a twenty years old young girls said this to our representative. Summa only get the opportunity to read upto class eight. She along with her family comes Dhaka from Naogoan. Her father Md. Enamul Haque a mid-aged garments worker work at Jhomka Garments. Her mother working as a garments worker more than 12 years as far she know, now she working at Al-muslim at Savar. She has a one brother who is also a garments worker and now working at Vision Garments at Savar. As Summa born in a garments working family, she has wanted to be a garment worker since she was a child. But she could not manage a job because of lack of work skill. She tried in many places but did not get any work in her. Than she was looking for a training center where she can learn the industrial sewing for garments, but she could not attend any training center due to lack of money and later she found this Palli Garments Training center where SEEP and Save the Children arranged Industrial Sewing training for underprivileged person. She said: “I was feeling alone at home, I wanted to work, I felt bad for not getting anywhere and having no money at that time to get involved in any training center then after finding this training center I came here on my own initiative and by the help of SEEP I learned work.”
