2. Introduction

Jubo Academy a non- governmental, non-profitable youth development organization was established in 1991,
It aims at eradicating poverty, illiteracy injustice, inequity. The distressed and underprivileged youths. It along
at motivating, mobilizing and facilitating to train them for life skill education, skill development for
employment/self-employment activities. International friendship and solidarity and voluntary services, making
pavement for active participation of youth in policy formulation and implementation process of development
are also the can program of the Academy.

“ Jubo” a Bengali word means Youth. Youth is a volatile section of the population of Bangladesh and almost
one third of the total populations are in the 15-30 years age bracket is case of Bangladesh. Youth are the most
potential, creative workforce of the society. For Bangladesh, the fact applies a lot more. Unemployment and
poverty by which youths have been worst affected in recent years pose a challenge to security and stability of
the world. This trend stands in sharp contrast to the targeted Millennium Development goal (MDG) which bind
the governments to develop and implement strategies that give young people every where a hance to find
decent and productive work. The majority of the youths of Bangladesh are illiterate, unskilled, unemployed and
powerless. The vast majority of the youths suffer from malnutrition, aimlessness and frustration. They are also
vulnerable groups for drug addiction, terrorism and HV/ AIDS.

Development is a form of social architecture and requires both consultation and active involvement on the part
of the youth. No architect should build a house without consulting the wishes of those who are to live in it and
designing the house to their own way of life. Like a rough diamond, youth have unfailing potentiality. What is
needed most is to give them a sense of direction so as to exploit their potentialities for productive purpose. If
they are guided, mobilized and motivated properly and channeled in right direction they are can contribute a
lot to national prosperity. Without the active participation of the youth force in the national development
process, the country’s total development efforts can not make much head way.

Since its inception Jubo Academy has successfully completed many development projects throughout the
country.

Vision:
Jubo Academy has the vision to build up the young generation so that they can face the millennium challenges
and to build up a hunger and illiteracy free just society through a peaceful social change by the youths.
Bangladesh can be best represented as a prestigious partner in the world communities through peace and
international friendship among the youths.

Mission:

To create self-empowered and self employed youth-communities with increased capabilities by providing need
based services and support like education, training, technology, micro-credit, health, nutrition and sanitation
programmes, gender development, awareness raising, counseling etc.

Who are the youth?

The youth are that segment of our population who are young. They belong to the age group of 15-30 years. By
and large about 70% of our populations fall in the age group of 0-35 years.
In Bangladesh, the majority of the youths are illiterate, unskilled, asset less, landless, unemployed and
powerless. The vast majority of youths suffer from malnutrition, aimlessness and frustration.
Today’s youths will inherit our land hungry and poor country and they will do so sooner than many care to
think.

Why we consider the youths to be so very important in Bangladesh?

 Youths form one third of our population. Development of youths is therefore a must.
 Vast majority of the youths are unemployed. They can’t be kept as a permanent liability.
 Youths can become volatile, angry and violent if left alone.
 They can be demanding and impatient for change.
 Youths are the symbol of change.
 Youths are innovative and sensitive.
 Young age is marked by growth and improvement, and therefore Youth symbolizes development.
 Youths form the most productive force of our entire population. Development has to be achieved by
the Youths.
 The future belongs to the Youth and Development has to be attained by the Youth.
 Youths must be consulted.
 Youths are more willing than adults to face new challenges and take risks.
 Youths are the most precious of our resources.
 It is risky to keep the Youths away from the mainstream of social and economic activities.
 Youths tend to take a global view of the problems of the society, and cannot be isolated.

Budget: Tk, 4, 10, 00,000

Goal of the Project:

To eliminate child labor and retain them in the mainstream of socio-economic development.

Objectives of the Project:

  To reduce the child labor working in the most hazardous sectors in Bangladesh. 14
 To ensure alternative employment through providing skill development training and basic education.
 To sensitize the different stakeholders against hazardous child labor
 To mobilize different Social Partners including government functionaries. NGO’s and community

Description:

Labor at young ages can have dire consequences on the child’s development both mental and physical.
Physically children are not suited to long hours of strenuous and monotonous work. Their bodies suffer the
effects of fatigue and exertion much more quickly than those of adults. Large number of them are already
suffering from malnutrition, which lowers their resistance even further and makes them all the more
vulnerable to disease. Caring heavy loads and working in a camped position in small factories can cause
deformity, particularly of the bones. Work from early ages has also been the cause of stunt growth. Children in
the manufacturing sector are more prone to accident and occupational hazards Keeping with growing
population, the number of child labor rose from 4.11 million in 1989 to 7.5 million in 2005. There were 2.22
million boys and 1.67 million in 1989. This number increased to 3.6 and 3.9 million for boys in 1991 and 1996
and correspondingly 2.8 and 2.7 million respectively for girls. There has been a slight decrease in the number of
girl child labor during 1996, 1991.

A large number of these children about 2.4 million work in urban areas. And the trend is still very alarming
regarding the grueling conditions of child labor, though the UN conversion on the Rights of the Child-1989
states:

“State parties recognize the right of a child to be protected from economic exploitation and from performing
any work that is likely to be hazardous or to interface with the child’s education, or to be harmful to the child’s
health or physical, mental, spintual, moral or social development, Furthermore, state parties should take
appropriate legislative, administrative, social and educational measure to ensure the implementation of this
article.”

It goes without saying that child labor is a part of underdevelopment and indeed it has been noted that it
persists in inverse relation to a country’s degree of economic advancement. The children’s presence on the
labor market carries many implications. Probably the most important is her absence from the school.

The long hours spent on the job result in fatigue and lack of concentration which almost invariably lead to poor
performance and failure even being enrolled in school.

The project was formulated for the children who were engaged in hazardous labor who are not getting the
opportunity of basic education and skill development training. This project will facilitated skill development
training and basic education for self employment or skill development. The project also provided loans to
create self entrepreneurship through providing technical training and guidelines.
To improve the situation, the project undertook a comprehensive a programme through providing basic
education, skill development training, micro credit and awareness.
Jubo Academy also implemented Eradication, of Hazardous Child
Labor of Bangladesh Project (1st phase) of Ministry of Labor and
Employment effectively in Hathazari and Bayezid Bostami Upazila

Program Approach And Strategy

Over All Approach:

Withdrawal and rehabilitation of child labors in hazardous sectors was possible by way of creating a safety net
as well as some alternative options for socio economic development for the children and their families. It
simultaneously takes efforts in motivating their employers towards national obligation and effort of eliminating
worst forms of child labors. The options were proposed in consideration with the problem, needs and liking of
the children and their families concerned.

The program addressed the working children in hazardous sectors of different area and their families

16

through direct intervention and awareness rising. The children and their families have been offered with non-
formal education, vocational skill training, alternative income generation means and basic health care services.

Identification of Target Group:

The prime strategy of the program was to identify targeted children, their families and workplaces physically at
the program area by referring to the database prepared from the Household-level Baseline Survey conducted
by the EHCLB Project and it has been done as per guideline.

Number of children for withdrawal

For economic empowerment of families, the JUBO ACADEMY provided micro-credit and training on different
IGAs to members of at lest 900 families initially. One member has been selected from each family for this
purpose. In addition, the aged children have been provided skill development training in different IGAs.

Detailing according to age, sex and intervention.

against child labor and to build up grassroots level institutions to monitor (watchdog function) and lobby, is
one of the building blocks of the institution framework that gives the program a community ownership. The
committee has been formed with the representatives of all stakeholders having potentiality to contribute to
the process. CMC includes members from the local educational institution, parents, representatives from the
employers and NGOs. The CMS has been formed comprising of 7-9 members for each center. The respective
Ward Commissioner chaired the committee.

Peer Education (Child to Child parents)

Peer education is an effective way of understanding the problem that has been used for the desired behavioral
changes of conservative people. It is the information dissemination to the homogeneous category of people. A
group of 60 children trained as peer educators as they disseminate messages on child labor issue to the other
children and advocate for their rights. To train these children, a 5-day training was organized. Three refresher-
training programs have followed it. Similarly, 60 parents have been trained to advocate on child labor issue to
the other parent’s group.

labor a drama group trained and developed with the participation of child labor as its actor and actress. They
performed the drama in different spots to spread message about the consequence of child labor and advocate
for their rights.

miseries are inestimable. The continuous increase of population every year has a tremendous impact on the
limited land recourses of the country and as a result of which the number of rootless families in Bangladesh are
increasing day by day. These families have no proper shelter, no specific source of income and no certainty for
survival. Generally they are dependent for their livelihood upon the charity of the local elites and relief
programs implemented by the govt. and Non- Govt. Organizations. They are frequently migrating towards to
urban areas in search of jobs and upon arrival at the urban areas they settled in the slums area.

To facilitate and support the landless families for their permanent settlement in the village areas Adharsh Gram
was established. For their sustainablity in village a comprehensive development programme had introduced

latrines and 29% are using hygienic Pit Latrine, 56% people are out of hygienic latrine coverage. 13.7% children
of below 5 years are using hygienic latrines for sanitation. Everyday the environment is being polluted by
20,000 tons of open stool. 18% of the rural people and 36% of the urban people have land crisis for
construction of Pit Latrine. Every year 110,000 children die due to diarrhea which is contaminated by polluted
water.

The normal physical and mental growth of our children is retarded due to diehard belief of the people for
