Empowering Women, Nurturing the Future
A two-year initiative in Raiganj, Sirajganj, creating a sustainable, circular model that empowers women entrepreneurs and provides vital nutrition to primary school students.
A Virtuous Cycle of Community Growth
Project City Shokti is built on a self-sustaining loop. Our investment empowers a women-led cooperative, which in turn nourishes the community's children, fostering economic resilience and a healthier, better-educated generation.
Measuring Our Impact
The project is designed to deliver clear, quantifiable results across four key domains. These Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) represent our primary targets over the two-year duration.
Strategic Value to The City Bank
Beyond community impact, City Shokti provides significant strategic advantages, aligning directly with regulatory priorities and enhancing our brand reputation.
Bangladesh Bank Compliance
The project's structure directly addresses key pillars of Bangladesh Bank's sustainability rating criteria, providing auditable metrics for reporting.
Health & Climate Action
