Salman
(Mirpur 12 Slum, Dhaka)
Salman is thriving in school, and it’s heartwarming to see how much he’s grown since receiving sponsorship support. With his educational expenses now covered, the burden has been lifted from his mother’s shoulders, allowing the family to breathe a little easier. Salman now has everything he needs to focus on his studies — from tuition support and school supplies to a proper uniform. With this steady support, he’s been doing exceptionally well in school and even received an award last year for his outstanding academic performance. His mother is overjoyed to see her son flourishing and is deeply grateful to the sponsor for helping him reach his potential. The support has not only lightened their financial strain but has also opened up a world of possibilities for Salman’s future.
Salman is an energetic boy. He loves going to school and playing with his friends. He lives in a one-room house with his parents and sister. Sometimes his relatives also stay with them. The room is very small for all these people. However, they don’t have any other option. Most of his father’s income from bus driving goes on the rent of just one room. Moreover, the living cost is increasing exponentially. They are failing to keep up with the increased costs. Salman’s mother cannot help his father in earning as she has to look after Salman and his 11-month-old sister. In this situation, it is getting very difficult for them to maintain Salman’s school and tuition fees. Besides the fees, he also needs stationeries, a uniform, and many other things. His parents are struggling to provide him with all of these. A sponsorship would really help them to provide Salman with the necessities to continue his studies.
