One of the largest Non-Governmental Organization in the Bangladesh is 'Pathway'. The Organization has been working as a development partner of the government in various development projects in the country. Bangladesh is one of the most accident-prone countries in the world. On average, about 20,000 people die in road accidents every year, and around 3,000 people are injured. These statistics show that road accidents have caused a lot of pandemic in our country.
Given this dire situation Pathway concluded in principle that the would work to prevent road accidents in the country. In the context of the pathway, various programs, including awareness campaigns, seminars, seminars on road accidents have been undertaken and implemented in various schools and colleges and bus terminals. Pathway firmly believes that if we are all motivated by patriotism, from whose position we can work on any problem in the country, then no problem in the country will become a problem. It was in this connection that an organization called "Pathway Automobile Driving Training School" was established as a subsidiary of Pathway.
To reduce road accidents, Pathway has started a Pathway Automobile Driving School in Dhaka. In a short time, the school has reached international standards in giving training and has earned a good name. Here instruction is given for a very nominal fee. At the same time, those who are unable to pay at all are given instructions free of cost including helping them to obtain their driving license. All trainees are given practical lessons on car maintenance and knowledge about traffic rules. Every year many trainees have graduated from the driving school and have been rewarded with good jobs both home and abroad.
Pathway is very concerned with the women labor force who go abroad usually as domestic help and face sexual harassment at the hands of their employers. Most of them live in substandard conditions and get a meager pay. Pathway has plans to undertake training of women as drivers so that they can be sent in the semi skilled category and employed in different companies abroad and at home earning better wages as well as being free of humiliation and mistreatment from their employers.
