Summit has extended its Livelihood Enhancement Project in Moheshkhali for an additional year until September 2026, continuing support for coastal communities, said a press statement.
The new phase follows the 2020–24 cycle implemented with Young Power in Social Action which trained 1,591 beneficiaries and disbursed nearly Tk 1 crore in grants.
Most beneficiaries are small-scale fishermen from Ghotibhanga, Sonadia, Tajiakata and Nayapara. Male participants received boat repair training with toolkits, now earning an average of Tk 9,000 to Tk 12,000 a month.
Women were trained in tailoring, electric sewing and fish net weaving, while also adopting improved solar-tent drying for fish. Many also received fishing gear to rent out for additional income.
Summit LNG Terminal also renovated Sonadia Government Primary School with Tk 40 lakh and handed it over to the Upazila Education Office.
Summit LNG Terminal managing director and CEO Md Sayedul Alam, advisor Mohammed Shamsul Alam, senior manager Md Rafiqul Islam and deputy manager of environment health and safety Md Mehedi Hasan Ovi attended the signing event.
Young Power in Social Action founder and chief executive Md Arifur Rahman, director of social development Nasim Banu and assistant director Md Nazmul Haider were also present.
