Mim Akter
(Mohakhali Sattala Slum, Dhaka)
Thanks to the generous sponsorship, Mim’s education has been able to continue despite the overwhelming challenges her family faces. The financial support has eased the heavy burden on her elder sister, who has been juggling multiple responsibilities to keep the family afloat. With the sponsorship covering Mim's educational expenses, her sister can now focus more on caring for their father and managing the household, without the added worry of school fees. Mim and her family are incredibly grateful to the sponsor for making this possible. The sponsorship has not only allowed Mim to stay in school but has also brought a sense of relief to a family struggling with limited resources. Their gratitude is immeasurable, and they are hopeful for a brighter future with this support.
After Mim's mother died, her elder sister took over the household responsibilities. Now she has to take on earning responsibility as well, as their father is sick. Due to his sickness, Mim's father cannot work at all. Her elder sister got a low-paying job to support the family. Even so, her income can barely cover their food expenses. She has to support their other sister as well along with paying for their father's treatment. They really struggle to maintain their expenses. In this dire situation, it is nearly impossible for Mim's sister to bear Mim's educational costs. If Mim could get a sponsorship, it would take some burden off of her sister's shoulders and help her to continue her education.
