Towards a brighter future
Fauzia and her daughter Mim, who is now more than four-and-a-half years old, wake up together early in the morning. Fauzia helps Mim pick out an outfit for the day. She lays out the clothes on the bed – a shirt, pants or skirt, socks, and shoes. Mim then gets dressed as her mother helps her with the buttons and zippers. After that, she brushes Mim's hair, ties it back, and helps her put on a bright ribbon.
Fauzia packs a healthy lunch for Mim and the mother-daughter duo leaves their house for the factory where Fauzia works as an operator. After entering the factory gates, Fauzia drops off Mim at the daycare centre, which is inside the factory compound. Then, she heads to her respective station inside the factory for her scheduled duty with her co-workers.
Every day, Fauzia drops off Mim at the daycare centre before starting her shift. Seeing her surrounded by toys, books, and other children helps Fauzia feel relieved knowing that her daughter is in good hands. During her break, Fauzia often sneaks into the daycare centre to check on Mim and give her a kiss and a hug.
With time, Mim has started to thrive at the daycare centre. She has made new friends, learned new things, and is more confident now than before. Watching her daughter grow and flourish in such a manner fills Fauzia with pride and happiness.
Now, Fauzia's daughter gets up before her mother in the morning with the excitement to go to the daycare centre.
Balancing work and motherhood was initially a challenge for Fauzia. And then, Multifabs Limited stepped in to support her. When the company introduced a comprehensive childcare program, providing safe and affordable childcare services to its employees' children, Fauzia became very happy. Now, she could give Mim better education. Mim too was eager to study hard and had big dreams. With the help of Multifabs' daycare support, Fauzia has now gathered the courage to provide her daughter with the best possible education. The company's childcare support not only gave her the flexibility to focus on her work but also saved her a significant amount of money that she would otherwise have to spend on childcare.
Fauzia is a Bangladeshi RMG worker who works as an operator at Multifabs Limited, a leading garment manufacturer in the country. She has been working there for over a decade and has seen the company grow and provide many benefits to its employees.
"Being at Multifabs Limited has given me the stability to hope for a better future for my daughter and me," said Fauzia with a glimpse of hope in her eyes.
Fauzia's employment at Multifabs Limited has empowered her along with her family in many ways. She has been able to provide her daughter with better education and create a better life for her. The job security and benefits that come with her employment have given her a sense of pride and purpose. Added to that, later Fauzia's husband and her sister also joined Multifabs Limited as workers.
Fauzia's story is an inspiration to many other working mothers in Bangladesh. She is evidence of the positive impact that companies can have on the lives of their employees and their families. Through her employment at Multifabs Limited, Fauzia and her daughter Mim have been given the opportunities they deserve and a brighter future to look forward to.
Multifabs Limited is a renowned export-oriented RMG factory operating in Bangladesh for more than 30 years. The company has over 10,000 employees and workers, and has been always looking after them by providing various types of benefits. The daycare centre and school have been operational for more than 15 years and every year, 30 children get admitted there.
After the children are done with their learning at the daycare within two years, the company takes full responsibility for their admission to a better school.
Along with supporting the employees and workers in different ways, Multifabs Limited also aims to convert 50 percent of its energy generation from solar power by 2030.
The goal of Multifabs Limited's management is to create better lives. There are hundreds of mothers like Fauzia under their employment who can now look forward to a better future, thanks to the company's corporate wellness initiatives.
