Opportunity for Women in Renewable Energy Technology Use in Bangladesh. This was initiated in 1999 with $175,000 from ESMAP as a project in Char Montaz, a coastal island in Bangladesh, with technical assistance from Prokaushali Sangsad Ltd (PSL). South Asia Partnership, Bangladesh, an NGO provided initial support in social mobilization and micro-credit. The project provided skill and renewable energy technology training to 32 poor women in Char Montaz and assited them in establishing the Coastal Women's Electrification and Development Microenterprise, which now has become a SME with 117 employees. Diversification: Initially, it was assembling of DC lamps and providing services through battery charging station. Now the SME has moved to assembling CFL and LED lamps, controllers and inverters of solar home system (SHS) and mobile phone chargers. It has provided SHS to almost 30,000 households, small enterprises and markets in coastal areas, where grid electrification is not a feasible option.The lessons from this project was taken into a larger project: Bangladesh Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Development ($200m). In this project, nearly 200,000 SHS are provided to poor households in remote areas. Grameen Shaki, Srijani, TMSS and other NGOs learnt from this project and made micro-finance available to the poor households for SHS. The World Bank

This is wonderful. As a chemical engineering, viewing this video brings much relief and joy into my heart that the sun and the moon have shone in my motherland through technology and at the same time helping many Bangladeshis in numerous ways. Thank you for making this video because this excites young people that there are many ways to help in this world and to live a sustainable life. Also many applause to World Bank in promoting these types of project throughout our world.Nazrul

Wow. This is nice. Makes me proud. So much is happening in my country since I left 15 years ago. I like the way Ms. Nilufar Ahmad describes project. So realistic, simple and plain language. No technocal jargon. I have not been home for many years. But I could see (?day dream) it as Ms Ahmad speaks on. Thank you Ms. Ahmad. Please keep up the good work.

For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
