Fifty year old Bishwanath Ghughu’s life changed forever in April 2010 when he became the proud owner of an acre of khas land from Debhata Upazilla with the assistance of a non-government organisation (NGO) working in the southwest region of Bangladesh. Owning a piece of land multiplied his household income, and he also received 3,500 shrimp fries worth Tk. 2,190 and a fishing net for shrimp cultivation. He now works in the shrimp gher, and very recently sold three kilos of shrimp worth Tk. 1,450. Bishwanath never had the opportunity to attend school, but has enrolled his daughter in the local primary school.bron: shiree-blog.org
