Sadia
(Mirpur 12 Slum, Dhaka)
The sponsorship has made a huge difference in Sadia’s life by helping her get the things she truly needed to continue her education. Before the sponsorship, her family was struggling to afford even the necessities, let alone the supplies Sadia needed for school. Now, thanks to the support, she has access to the resources that were once out of reach—things like books, school uniforms, and extra tutoring to help with her studies. With all these essentials in place, she can focus on learning and growing, without the distractions of financial stress. Besides her education, she also loves participating in our activities and made a lot of friends here. She loves learning the new things taught in our programs. The sponsorship has truly given Sadia the chance to thrive and pursue her dreams with more confidence and excitement. The financial help has also eased the burden on her father and grandmother, allowing them to focus on their well-being without constantly worrying about how to manage school expenses. Her family can’t thank the sponsor enough for this support.
Sadia lives with her grandmother and her father. Her mother left them a long time ago. Since then Sadia's grandmother has been taking care of her. Her father is a bus helper. His earnings are not sufficient to maintain their family. So, her grandmother has to work as a maid. But she can't earn much because of her old age. They can barely manage to pay for all the expenses. Now that Sadia started going to school, her expenses increased. On top of that, the increasing price of daily commodities has made their lives harder. They are struggling to keep up with the costs. In this situation, they can barely afford to provide Sadia with the basic necessities, let alone provide her any help for her studies. However, all these struggles could not fade Sadia's high-spirited nature. A sponsorship would really help her to keep fighting and continue to be as joyful as she is.
