Tanjila
(Mohakhali Sattala Slum, Dhaka)
The sponsorship has been such a blessing. It has lifted a huge burden off her grandmother’s shoulders. With this support, Tanjila's educational expenses are now taken care of, allowing her to continue her studies without worry. But the impact doesn’t stop there. When there’s an excess in her balance, Tanjila also receives nutritious food and clothes, ensuring she is healthy, comfortable, and able to focus on her learning. Tanjila is growing up to be a thoughtful and responsible young girl. She also loves doing the activity programs with the friends she has made in our program while learning, playing, and growing together in a safe, encouraging environment. Her family is very grateful to the sponsor for the support she’s receiving.
When Tanjila was only one and half years old, her parents separated and started their own family without taking her on their responsibilities. Since then she’s been living with her grandmother, great grandmother, cousin and aunt who has lost her husband. Her grandmother works at a garment factory and takes care of the family financially. But as the income is low, it’s tough for her to run a family of five. If they can get some help, they would be able to keep her at school longer.
