Md. Fahim Fuad
(Mirpur 12 Slum, Dhaka)
Fahim’s dream of becoming an engineer is now within reach, thanks to the generous support of his sponsor. The sponsorship came at a critical time, easing the financial strain on his family and allowing him to continue his education without fear of dropping out. With his school fees, books, and other educational needs now taken care of, Fahim is able to concentrate fully on his studies. He remains as passionate and dedicated as ever, inspired by his father’s wish to see his children achieve what he could not. The support has also brought a great sense of relief to his parents, especially his father, who can now focus on providing for the family without the added stress of covering both children’s education costs. Fahim and his family are truly thankful for the sponsorship. It has not only helped him stay on track academically but has also brought hope and stability to their lives.
Fahim’s father is a salesman at a pharmacy. He always regretted that he could not finish his studies. That’s why he wants his children to study and have a better life. He instilled big dreams in his children. However, the reality is different than their dreams. Fahim got his father’s enthusiasm to study and be an engineer. But his studies are already on the edge of being stopped. His father’s meager earning is not sufficient to maintain their family. It is difficult for his father to maintain the cost of Fahim’s and his elder brother’s education. Fahim’s mother used to work before, but now she has to take care of his younger sister. Fahim’s father tries his best to keep his children in school but fails due to the increased cost of living. A sponsorship would not only help to keep Fahim’s dream to be an engineer but it will also take some burden off his family of maintaining two children’s education.
