Houses given to poor family at Subonochar

Chattogram Bureau :
Aleah Begum (50), abandoned by her husband, has been fighting against storms and the environment for the past 22 years to save her family. He also married his only daughter Jasmine Akhter. But in a cruel twist of fate, her husband died Aleya became helpless. Darkness surrounds both eyes. He also took loans from many people in the village. Even if the mother and daughter earn a little by working with the loan money, they are not able to pay the installments with the money of the income, they do not get two handfuls of rice twice a day. In the meantime, they did not have the strength to repair the collapsed Kankarsa house.
Two months ago, people from PHP family and Pasco International came to visit their workshop. They promised to make the house ready. At first Aleya Begum did not believe. Later, when construction work started on the 2 ganda land he got for settlement, he believed he would get a ready-made house.
Aleya Begum, a resident of No. 4 Char Wapda Union of Noakhali’s Subarnachar, said the words. He told us at the time, “Mother and daughter never imagined that we would get a mature house.” No one even turns to the helpless. A house built there is a dream Aleya Begum had tears in her eyes as she said these words. Jasmine, the girl next to him, hugged him When asked why she is crying even after getting a ready-made house, Aleya said with a smile that it is a cry of happiness. There is happiness in this cry. Tears came to the eyes with happiness.
On Monday afternoon, the South Korean company POSCO International and the managing director of Bangladesh’s top local industry group PHP Family, Mohammad Iqbal Hossain, built 11 paved houses in No. 4 Char-Wapda Union of Subarnachar, Noakhali and handed them over to the poor families.
It may be noted that POSCO-PHP families are constructing 600 square feet houses made of iron, concrete and colored corrugated iron for the poor. Each of the three rooms has two bedrooms, a sitting room in the middle, a front porch and a bathroom. Outside this structure is a kitchen. Houses have been selectively built for families who own land but are poor and cannot afford to build houses.
The cost of constructing each house is 4 lakh 70 thousand taka. Colored corrugated iron from the PHP family has been used in the construction of the house, ensuring quality and durability. Earlier last December, 5 houses were constructed and handed over in the same area.
