Abstract
The production, distribution, and sales of yogurt by Grameen Danone Foods have improved people’s quality of life in Bogra. First, it has created new jobs and employment opportunities in the region as well as expanded previously established business. Second, awareness of Shokti Doi’s nutritional value and its importance to people’s diets has been promoted among local people. Grameen Danone Foods has been successful in creating this awareness due to the network of Grameen borrowers, workshops, and the weekly meetings held at the centers. The practical knowledge of the region’s resources and of creating successful human networks is a result of Grameen Bank’s successful practices over these three decades. As a result, rural Bangladeshi villagers enjoy the health benefits from Shokti Doi because of these socially conscious programs. And finally, because of this grass-roots program, nutritional education has been brought to rural regions, where healthier nutrition practices are much needed.
