Md. Tousif
(Mirpur 12 Slum, Dhaka)
Life has taken a positive turn for Tousif and his mother since receiving sponsorship support. They have recently moved back to their village, where Tousif is continuing his education with all the support he needs. From tuition fees and school expenses to essential stationery, everything is now being taken care of — allowing him to focus fully on his studies without the burden of financial stress. The difference has been life-changing for his mother, who no longer has to struggle to cover the costs of her son’s education on her limited income. With that weight lifted, she can now focus on caring for her family and creating a more stable environment for Tousif to grow up in. In addition to his schoolwork, Tousif is actively participating in the awareness activity programs. He loves being a part of them and is learning so much, not just academically, but also about values, life skills, and personal growth. Both Tousif and his mother are deeply grateful for the support he has been receiving. The sponsorship has given them hope, stability, and the reassurance that they’re not alone in this journey.
Tousif's mother has struggled to raise him alone since his father's death. She is employed as a maid. Her income is insufficient to cover all of their expenses. If they want a good house, the rent is quite high. So, they have to live in a run-down tin-shedded house. Food prices are rising as a result of inflation. Tousif is in grade 3. There are now some additional expenses for his education. Tousif's mother's meager income cannot cover all of his expenses. Until last month, she couldn't even provide him with a tutor. But he needed some assistance with his studies. So she had to find a tutor in some way. She is unsure how long she can bear this additional expense. If Tousif could get a sponsorship, it would help her mother to provide him with all the help he needs for his studies.
