Munni
(Mirpur 12 Slum, Dhaka)
Munni’s father is a carpenter. His income is very low and not fixed. So, her mother has to work as a maid. Munni is the youngest of two sisters. Her parents married off her elder sister quite early. But she still stays with them. Seeing her sister's situation, Munni's parents don’t want the same future for her. They want her to get educated and have a better life. However, they are failing to provide her with the necessary help, as the costs are increasing day by day. It is getting tougher for them to cope with that. Most of their earnings are spent on their house rent and food expenses. In this situation, it is very difficult for them to continue Munni's education. If she could get a sponsorship, it would help her continue her studies and avert early marriage.
