On July 15, 2026, VAALO provided BDT 12,000 in working capital to Mr. Abdul Kaiyum to help him establish and expand a small vegetable business. The support aims to strengthen his family's income and promote long-term financial stability through sustainable self-employment.
This assistance is part of VAALO's continued commitment to helping vulnerable families become self-reliant through coordinated livelihood and education support, rather than one-time relief. The working capital will enable Mr. Kaiyum to purchase vegetables for resale, creating a more stable source of income to support his household.
Over the years, VAALO has stood beside Mr. Kaiyum and his family through a series of integrated support initiatives. To improve the family's earning opportunities, VAALO previously provided his wife with a sewing machine so she could earn an income through tailoring. The organization also covered the school admission expenses for their son, ensuring that financial hardship did not interrupt his education. In addition, VAALO facilitated the provision of a van through its network to further strengthen the family's livelihood opportunities.
Beyond livelihood and education, VAALO has continued to support the family during times of need by providing food packages especially during Ramadan and Eid. These efforts have helped ease financial pressure during important religious occasions while reinforcing the organization's commitment to the family's overall well-being.
By combining livelihood development, educational assistance, and humanitarian support, VAALO is helping vulnerable families build a stronger foundation for the future. These coordinated interventions reflect the VAALO's belief that sustainable development is achieved by creating opportunities for families to earn with dignity, educate their children, and improve their quality of life with resilience and hope.
