Jannat Rahim
(Mirpur 12 Slum, Dhaka)
Thanks to the sponsorship, Jannat’s life has taken a positive turn. The financial support has eased her family’s struggles, allowing her to focus on her studies without the constant worry of how they’ll make ends meet. She’s also found a supportive community in the program, making new friends who share her passion for learning. Jannat now enjoys her time with her peers, and with the resources available to her, she’s thriving academically and feels more hopeful about her future. Her journey is a true reflection of resilience and the power of support. Her family is very grateful to the sponsor for giving her the opportunity.
Jannat's father is a car mechanic. He works at a local garage. He doesn't have any fixed salary. He gets paid as per the number of cars he can fix. His meager income is far from adequate to support their family of 5. Jannat is the eldest of three siblings. The past few months have been really hard for them, as her father couldn't earn much. The price inflation made their situation worse. They ran into a lot of debts due to that. Even in their dire situation, Jannat did not lose hope. She's continuing her studies all on her own. But there's so much she can learn on her own. Her parents cannot afford to get her all the help she needs. However, they don't want to stop Jannat's education. A sponsorship would really help ease their struggles and keep Jannat in school.
