PERSONAL CONNECTION Thousands of families are stuck in the
poverty cycle with no escape in sight. The children in these families are born into a predestined life. I believe in giving these children a fair chance at a new life. By giving these children a quality education we are opening new doors for them to be equal citizens in their community. By helping the youth overcome their boundaries we can all make a change in the world by eventually eliminating the poverty cycle in Bangladesh and around the world.
HELP US CREATE A BETTER FUTURE

families a like with the chance at a new way of life for them and their community
