Oporajita: Collective Impact on the Future of Work in Bangladesh

LightCastle Co-Founder & Director, Zahedul Amin, signing on the partnership at the launch ceremony

We are excited to announce our partnership in the launch of Oporajita: Collective Impact on the Future of Work in Bangladesh!

Multiple partners met up in Dhaka to join forces on a common vision – aiming to equip women garment workers in Bangladesh for a future defined by automation. By working with the collective impact approach, the partners aim to holistically address challenges to women’s future employment opportunities – and achieve transformative change for the Ready-Made-Garments (RMG) industry and the people working within it.

LightCastle Partners, in collaboration with 12 other partners, will implement interventions that directly impact women garment workers on developing skilling and career mobility, creating enabling environments in their communities, and safeguarding livelihoods through increasing the competitiveness of the RMG sector.
