Monika
(Mirpur 12 Slum, Dhaka)
The sponsorship has made such a huge difference for Monika. It’s helping her in so many ways. For one, it’s covering the cost of all her school supplies, books, and materials—things her family couldn’t have afforded otherwise. But what really stands out is that she’s now able to get extra help with her homework. This kind of support is so important because it gives her the chance to really understand her lessons and keep up with her classmates. This opportunity has made a world of difference to her and her family. They are beyond grateful, yet words cannot fully express their thanks for the chance Monika now has to build a better future.
Monika is a lively young girl. She loves going to school with her friends. She even recited a poem she learned at school when we went to visit. However, only sending her to school is not enough to provide her with a good education. She needs help with her homework which her parents cannot afford. Her father is a security guard. His minimal income is far from sufficient to support all their expenses. Even in this tough situation, they want Monika to get a proper education, as they never got an opportunity to study. They don't want their children to go through the same difficulties. A sponsorship would help them a lot to get Monika all the help she needs with her studies.
