Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) handed over cheque to the Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed(CRP) for further development of the Prosthetic and Orthotics School.
After handing over the cheque at a program, BGMEA Vice President (Finance) Reaz Bin Mahmood said, “People with disabilities are not disabled, rather they are differently able. If they are provided with little cooperation, they can be asset to our economy and society.”
“Skilled workforce can be a key for BGMEA to reach the target of US$50 billion of exports by 2021,” he added.
Dr. Valerie Taylor, founder of CRP, said, “I thank GIZ, BGMEA and International Committee for the Red Cross (ICRC) for their contribution to the first ever Prosthetics and Orthotics School, CRP, Savar.”
