About the Cause
Poor health and nutrition negatively affect children’s school attendance and ability to learn. We implement school feeding programs that look for alternative ways to ensure sustainable supply of nutritious foods to school children and young people in urban and marginalized areas.
In addition, contaminated water and poor sanitation are big factors that result in the death of children worldwide. In our programs, we always include what is called WASH which means Water, Sanitation & Hygiene. This is done through the design and construction of child-friendly and gender sensitive facilities for sanitation, such as latrines and hand-washing stations. We also provide clean water supply by building water wells and raise awareness about the importance of sanitation and hygiene.
My Story
The project is to improve the educational status of poor children. The specific objectives of the project are to initiate the community to advocate for support and education of poor children, to increase the enrollment of students in school, to increase the access of poor children to education, to change the life condition of poor children through education and to empower the households of poor children economically. A street is not a home A child on the street isn’t just struggling for food - they’re continuously at risk of exploitation, abuse, and unable to receive an education to improve their futures. There are an estimated 350,000 children living on the streets of Dhaka. Many have been abandoned or are escaping violence, but some come from families that are so vulnerable that they have been forced onto the street. It is the right of all children to expect mercy, kindness and care from Muslims, and it’s our duty to protect them from harm. Support our drop-in centre in Dhaka, and you’ll help to give street children a safe space, food, and healthcare to meet their short-term needs, as well as education, vocational classes, and outreach services so that they can build confidence, and have brighter futures.
