Nusrat Jahan Mim
(Mohakhali Sattala Slum, Dhaka)
Things started to improve after Nusrat was given the sponsorship. Regular tuition classes allowed her to catch up in subjects she had previously struggled with because of a lack of resources. Her innate curiosity truly began to develop with the right textbooks and study aids, and she improved her academic performance even further. Her parents, in particular, are incredibly grateful. Finally, they could watch their daughter pursue her goals without having to worry about money. The health of Nusrat's mother also slightly improved, and the family as a whole felt more at ease and hopeful about the future as a result of the new stability. Her family is extremely grateful to the sponsor for the chance. In addition to aiding with her education, the support they obtained offered them the consolation and hope they needed to have faith in a better future.
Nusrat is a cheerful young girl. She lights up everyone's mood around her with her joyful nature. She is very good at school. Her teachers often find it difficult to keep up with her curious mind. Along with her cheerful nature, there's a caring side to her. Even at her young age, she takes care of her grandfather, who lives with them, and her younger brother. Most of her afternoons are spent playing with her 2-year-old brother. Her father is a garment worker. With his limited income, it is very difficult for him to maintain a big family of 7. Moreover, recently Nusrat's mother was diagnosed with a heart condition. After paying for her mother's treatments and maintaining the family, Nusrat's father can barely pay for her education expenses. When we spoke to her mother she informed us that they're having a really hard time and may not be able to continue Nusrat's education if things went on like this. This is really unfortunate for a girl like Nusrat to not be able to achieve her full potentials. A sponsorship would really help them to keep Nusrat in school and help her to do something better in the future.
