| Summary: | How to survive and make ends meet and how to improve the quality of life are daily and persistent livelihood issues
and liveability challenges preoccupying disadvantaged communities in underdeveloped and developing countries. In
politically volatile and environmentally hazardous Bangladesh life struggles could be complex and challenging for
womenfolk who more often than not are left on their own to cope with daily liveability problems. Through
examining the findings from secondary information sources this paper illustrates three cases of how women helped
make the best of empowerment projects geared to make the livelihood and liveability of themselves, their family and
community better and more meaningful. It also highlights the institutional and organizational traits that were the
success factors of the empowerment projects. |
