Bangladesh is one of the world’s poor countries. The country has a long cultural and religious tradition of looking after the elderly and it is expected that families will care for their elderly members. But, rapid socio-economic and demographic transitions, mass poverty, changing social & religious values, influence of western culture and other factors have broken down the traditional extended family and community care system.

Poverty is deep and widespread among older men and women which is exacerbated by extreme weather, such as heat waves, floods and cyclones that kills thousands every year, destroy homes and wreck older people livelihoods. As a result elderly people here suffer from basic human problems, such as poor financial support, senile diseases, poor health facilities, negligence and socio economic insecurity. 

The Government of Bangladesh introduced old age allowances in the fiscal year 1997_1998 and other healthcare facilities for elderly. But it is not enough to cover the whole elderly people of Bangladesh. Number of beneficiary is very low (4.4 million) compared to total population and the amount of money per head per month is negligible (tk500).

Development goal cannot be achieved leaving anyone behind, so empowering senior citizens is as important as ensuring their welfare. Our elders are an integral part of the society. Let’s not ignore or neglect them. They have a right to live life to the fullest. It’s time for the society to give back to them. So start donating now for this special cause.

It's easy to get started creating your website. Knowing some of the basics will help.

What is a Content Management System?

A content management system is software that allows you to create and manage webpages easily by separating the creation of your content from the mechanics required to present it on the web.

In this site, the content is stored in a database. The look and feel are created by a template. Joomla! brings together the template and your content to create web pages.

Logging in

To login to your site use the user name and password that were created as part of the installation process. Once logged-in you will be able to create and edit articles and modify some settings.

Creating an article

Once you are logged-in, a new menu will be visible. To create a new article, click on the "Submit Article" link on that menu.

The new article interface gives you a lot of options, but all you need to do is add a title and put something in the content area. To make it easy to find, set the state to published.

You can edit an existing article by clicking on the edit icon (this only displays to users who have the right to edit).

Template, site settings, and modules

The look and feel of your site is controlled by a template. You can change the site name, background colour, highlights colour and more by editing the template settings. Click the "Template Settings" in the user menu.

The boxes around the main content of the site are called modules. You can modify modules on the current page by moving your cursor to the module and clicking the edit link. Always be sure to save and close any module you edit.

You can change some site settings such as the site name and description by clicking on the "Site Settings" link.

More advanced options for templates, site settings, modules, and more are available in the site administrator.

Site and Administrator

Your site actually has two separate sites. The site (also called the front end) is what visitors to your site will see. The administrator (also called the back end) is only used by people managing your site. You can access the administrator by clicking the "Site Administrator" link on the "User Menu" menu (visible once you login) or by adding /administrator to the end of your domain name. The same user name and password are used for both sites.

Learn more

There is much more to learn about how to use Joomla! to create the website you envision. You can learn much more at the Joomla! documentation site and on the Joomla! forums.
