Abdur Rahman
(Mirpur 12 Slum, Dhaka)
Since Abdur received the sponsorship, things have started to look brighter for his family. The financial support has eased their struggles, especially with the rising costs of living. Abdur's parents no longer have to worry about school fees, which has been a huge relief for them. Abdur is doing well in his studies, and he’s also thriving in the program. He loves being a part of it, and he’s made so many new friends, which has really boosted his confidence and enthusiasm for learning. His family can’t express how grateful they are for the sponsorship—it’s truly been a lifeline. They’re so thankful to the sponsor for making it possible for Abdur to continue his education and for bringing some stability to their lives during such a tough time. Abdur’s bright smile and energy in the program are a true reflection of the positive impact this support has had on him.
Abdur's father is a garment worker and his mother stays at home to look after Abdur and his younger sister. They both are really young so she can't leave them for work. They support their expenses with great difficulties, as they have no other earning source. And now during the inflation, it is getting tougher for them. Abdur's mother expressed her helplessness over the fact that they can hardly provide nutritious food or fulfill their basic needs. Abdur studies in a school run by a charitable organization, otherwise it would've been impossible for them to send him to school, she said. A sponsorship would really help them in this tough situation.
