Personal Life of Ajufa Khatun
Ajufa Begum had to leave Maoa, Munshiganj with her husband
and three children in the early 80’s due to extreme poverty, and
started new life in Naogaon. She used to live with other relatives
in a slum near Shantahar railway station. Her husband started
small business to survive but suddenly got sick which prolonged
due to not being able to afford proper treatment and care. In
consequence, income was decreasing that led them to starve.
In the meantime economic condition of the family went worse
and Ajufa had nothing to do. Neighbors’ stopped further lending
as she had failed to repay regularly. Huge local debt compelled
her to leave Shantahar and take job as maid in Mirpur, Dhaka.
Following one of her relative’s advices, she took training on
carpet making, but insolvency forced her to refrain from starting
the production. She came back to Shantahar however lost
husband ahead of time.
