in Bangladesh.
c. Depo Holder Project.
Depo Holder Project sponsored by the Ministry of Health
and Family Planning. The concept was to get 10 women under
the female union leader to deliver motivational lecture

of family planning in each family and as a whole in the
society. The lectures were conducted in the courtyard of
the village leader. All able women were asked to assemble.
The team headed by the Female Union Leader, were asked to
deliver a lecture on family planning and health care. This
project helped the government to reduce the population growth
considerably.

tremendous impact in use of healthy sanitation system in
rural Bangladesh.
