The Centre for Mass Education in Science (CMES) in Bangladesh is partnering with COL’s GIRLS Inspire project to train vulnerable women and girls for sustainable livelihoods. Focusing on hard-to-reach districts, CMES works with adolescents and youths to empower them economically and socially through skills development. Vermicompost workshops are part of the livelihoods training the Centre offers to women and girls. Graduates from this successful programme produce quality compost, which they sell to farmers to generate income.
