Story of Nusrat Jahan
Nusrat Jahan of Brahmanbaria, a bachelor’s graduate in Accounting from Brahmanbaria Pouro Degree College, was working as a Bondhu Chula Doctor in 2019 when she saw a business opportunity for herself through the Foundation.
With the support of
her friends and family, Mrs. Jahan started her own business in June 2020
selling Bondhu Chula, becoming one of the Foundation’s first female business
partners. Mrs. Jahan named her shop Mahera Enterprise, in dedication to her
only daughter, Mahera. Although Mrs. Jahan was pressed for sales initially, she
used her training as a doctor to market door-to-door to customers to convince
them of the benefits of Chula. Within four months Mahera Enterprise had
earned significant capital and sales had increased to a sustainable level. Mrs.
Jahan plans to expand her business by recruiting more Doctors, whom she will
personally train on marketing strategy. She now represents the Foundation as a
proud business owner and female entrepreneur.
