Tasmim Akter
(Mirpur 12 Slum, Dhaka)
Thanks to the support of the sponsorship, Tasmim is now able to continue her studies without the constant burden of financial worry. With her educational costs being covered, she can focus fully on her academics and no longer has to think about taking on a part-time job to support herself. This support has not only changed Tasmim’s life, it has been a blessing for her entire family. Since her parents no longer have to carry the full weight of her education expenses, they can now concentrate more on supporting her sisters as well. It has brought a sense of relief and balance to their home, where every bit of help makes a big difference. Tasmim continues to show great determination and resilience in her studies while also helping at home. The sponsorship has opened a path for her to pursue her dreams with confidence, and she’s making the most of the opportunity. Her whole family is deeply grateful to the sponsor for easing their struggles and giving Tasmim the chance to chase a brighter future. The impact of this support reaches beyond one child, it’s uplifting an entire household.
Tasmim's father works as a day worker. His earnings are extremely low. As a result, her mother has to work as a maid, leaving Tasmim's younger brother at home with them. Tasmim and her older sister care for their siblings and manage all household chores in addition to their studies. Despite these challenges, Tasmim is determined to continue her studies. However, her parents are struggling to cover her educational expenses. Tasmim and both of her sisters attend school, so they have a lot of expenses. They're finding it increasingly difficult to cover Tasmim's educational expenses. Tasmim is considering looking for a part-time job to help pay for her education in light of their financial situation. If she could get a scholarship, she would be able to focus solely on her studies without having to worry about finances.
