Ethnic Community Development Organization has been taken an initiative for formation of a Manipuri Women Weaver Association. The main objective of this initiative is to empower the Manipuri indigenous women through providing different trainings on leadership and other income generating activities and entrepreneurship.

ECDO already arranged several meetings with Manipuri women weavers & everybody was appreciated very much for this good initiative. Now formation of a women weaver group is under process. After formation of this group ECDO will arrange training for them. It should be mention that Manipuri indigenous community is very famous for its rich culture & Manipuri weaving & handicraft is also very well known to all in Bangladesh. But due to lack of skill development training and fund now this valuable traditional sector is abolishing from this community. On the other hand the socio-economic condition of Manipuri community is also become very worse day by day due to increasing unemployment problem among the community. Considering these things ECDO is taking this initiative to address the above problems in this community.
