Saidpur Enterprises (www.saidpurenterprises.com) derives its present status from Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), a relief and development agency of the Mennonite Churches of Canada and USA that has been operating in Bangladesh since its independence in 1971. In 1976, MCC formed the entity Action bag Handicrafts and in 1986, Eastern Screen Printers as distinct income generating concerns. MCC managed both the concerns under their job creation program towards grooming for the long term sustainability of those projects. Saidpur Enterprises is a Trust formed and registered on May 4, 1995, to take over and independently carry on with the job creation project of MCC. The Trust aims at improving the quality of life of the marginalized segment of the woman population at Saidpur and the adjoining areas through organizing and developing them as skilled workforce and thus seeking to enable them to move from income insecurity to economic self-sufficiency.
