BAJEE (Bihar Anjuman's Jewels for Educational & Economic Empowerment) Activities

BAJEE: A Network of Women, Empowering Muslim Women of Bihar & Jharkhand

Bihar Anjuman's sister-group, BAJEE (www.bajee.org) will, insha-Allah, instill more confidence in our sisters whose positive contribution is essential in fulfilling the vision of Bihar Anjuman - Striving towards educational and socio-economic empowerment of Muslims - as sisters, daughters and mothers they can nurture a culture of mutual respect better and help inculcate a habit of "giving" among the younger generations. After all, women are Gems and Jewels of our community who can turn the next generation into assets (rather than a liability).

BAJEE Team Leader: Sister Atia Khan of Patna leads this women's wing of Bihar Anjuman. A Yahoo!Group has been created so that they can discuss issues among themselves, keep their contact details, and work hand-in-hand with the Bihar Anjuman - every member of BAJEE will also be a member of biharanjuman, insha-Allah.
BAJEE Network for Women only. They can use bajee@yahoogroups.com as the email address to communicate among themselves.

July 2008
As reported in the Yahoogroup: To expand the activities (started in August 2007) of this BAJEE centre that could extend the benefits to the women folk of this village, Mrs. Gulnaz Bano arranged two tailoring machines – one hand-machine and one pedestal machine. The tailoring class was inaugurated formally on the 11th July 208. One more teacher was appointed by her and the first teacher (who also can provide training in tailoring-related skills) was assigned additional responsibilities of imparting tailoring-related skills, as per guidelines provided by Mrs. Gulnaz Bano (she is herself trained in tailoring, knitting, embroidery, cloth painting and related skills). First teacher's salary was raised to Rs. 2,500 per month (Rs. 1,500 for Islamic education + Rs. 1,000 for tailoring-related teaching) and the new teacher's salary was fixed at Rs. 1,000 per month (tailoring-related skills). All the funds have been arranged by Mrs. Gulnaz Bano alone. Bihar Anjuman has not contributed any funds to this centre, only provided guidance.

August 2007

As reported in the Yahoogroup: Inspired by Dr. Moiz Shams Sb of Makkah Mokarrama, BAJEE training centre was launched to make the women of this village literate. This centre is sponsored by Mrs. Gulnaz Bano who will pay for a teacher's salary @ Rs. 1,500 per month (a lady teacher was selected by her in cooperation with her father-in-law). Classes on Quran learning, and Urdu, started on 5th August 2007 with Mrs. Gulnaz Bano's lecture to around 120 women and girls, in an ijtema, called to highlight the importance of imparting such education. The response was overwhelming and far above our expectations. Books and audio cassettes were provided by Mrs. Gulnaz and her women associates while we provided audio CDs of Quranic recitations, tarjuma and tafseers downloaded from biharanjuman's website.
