Economic empowerment is key to sustainable development, and Aspect Trust is leading the way by creating inclusive financial and entrepreneurial opportunities across Bangladesh. Through a range of strategic programs, the organization is transforming lives and uplifting entire communities.
Retailer Microfinance Program:
Local retailers are the backbone of many communities. Aspect Trust offers microfinance support through partnerships with banks, enabling access to working capital loans of up to ৳2,00,000. This initiative includes financial literacy training, business advisory services, and access to specialized credit cards supporting health and agriculture sectors.
Earned Wage Access (EWA):
Daily wage earners, especially those in the RMG (Ready-Made Garment) industry, often struggle with irregular cash flow. The EWA program provides early access to earned wages through digital platforms—empowering workers to manage their finances better and meet urgent needs.
Women’s Livelihood & Empowerment:
Aspect Trust places a strong emphasis on gender inclusion. Women across rural areas are supported through microloans and skill development in tailoring, livestock rearing, and handicrafts. Legal literacy and cooperative business support encourage women to take control of their financial futures and contribute meaningfully to the economy.
Skill Development & Vocational Training:
From driving to electronics, computer literacy to freelancing—Aspect Trust provides hands-on training for various trades and digital skills. These opportunities open doors for youth and underprivileged communities to participate in the growing gig economy.
Supply Chain Development:
By investing in local entrepreneurs and developing community-led value chains, Aspect Trust has fostered brands in stationery, leather goods, and household items. These efforts not only create jobs but also stimulate regional economic growth and promote self-reliance.
Aspect Trust’s comprehensive approach to economic empowerment demonstrates how thoughtfully designed programs can generate long-term impact. By combining access to finance, digital tools, skills training, and entrepreneurship, the organization is building a more inclusive and resilient economy.
