The Challenge

Unlocking economic potential for all Bangladeshis

While Bangladesh's economy grows, many people, especially in rural areas, lack access to economic opportunities, microfinance, and entrepreneurship support. Economic inequality persists, limiting shared prosperity.

Limited access to microfinance and credit

Lack of business training and support

Limited market access for small businesses

Rural economic opportunities scarce

Gender gap in economic participation

"With Next11's microfinance and business training, I started my own tailoring business. Now I employ 3 people and support my family."
