Hasna Akter Lamia
(Mirpur 12 Slum, Dhaka)
Since Hasna received the sponsorship, life has definitely gotten a bit easier for her and her family. The support has taken a huge load off their shoulders, especially when it comes to covering her school fees and other essentials. Hasna’s parents are so relieved—they’ve been doing everything they can, but the sponsorship has given them a real sense of hope. Hasna is also really enjoying being part of the program! She’s made some great new friends, and it’s clear that she’s more confident and excited about her education. Her family is beyond grateful to the sponsor for making sure Hasna has the chance to keep learning and build a better future, despite all the challenges they face. It’s truly been a game-changer for them.
Hasna is the eldest of three siblings. It is very difficult for them to maintain their family of 5 with only Hasna's father's income. He sells vegetables in a van. He doesn't earn the same every day. They have to maintain their family with whatever he earns daily. On top of that their expenses are increasing day by day. Hasna's youngest sister often falls sick, and a large amount of their earnings goes to her treatment. Amidst all these, it is really difficult for them to maintain Hasna's education. Still, they are trying to do whatever they can to continue her education. A sponsorship would really ease their struggles.
