Sadia's Story Since Sponsorship:

Thanks to the sponsorship, Sadia’s life has found a ray of hope even in the midst of her family’s darkest struggles. While her father was in the hospital fighting to recover from his accident, the sponsorship ensured that Sadia’s education did not come to a halt. Her school expenses, books, and other learning materials were taken care of, allowing her to continue attending classes without the burden of added financial strain on her family. This stability in her education has been a source of strength for her, giving her the confidence to keep dreaming despite the hardships at home. The gratitude grew even deeper during the recent eviction of their slum. At a time when they lost the little security they had, the sponsorship stood by them like a pillar of support. In the face of uncertainty, it gave them hope and the courage to keep going. Sadia’s parents often express their deep gratitude to the sponsor who made this possible; seeing their daughter continue her studies despite everything gives them the strength to believe in a brighter future. Sadia, too, carries this gratitude in her heart. Every day she studies with renewed determination, knowing that her education has been made possible through compassion and kindness. 

Sadia's Story During Sponsorship Application:

Sadia's father worked as a truck driver's assistant. He loaded a variety of goods onto the truck. This job did not pay well. With such a low income, it was extremely difficult for them to support their family of five. They were struggling to make ends meet. Sadia's mother could not go to work because of her younger sister. Their situation worsened when her father got into an accident recently and burnt about 25% of his upper body. Now, not only have they lost the sole earning member of their family but they are also in huge debt bearing his treatment costs. Sadia's older brother, who reads in grade 4, joined a local fish farm on a daily earning basis. The little amount he gets from the farm is spent on the food. In this situation, they are unable to cover Sadia's educational expenses. If she could get a sponsorship, it would not only cover her educational expenses but also help ease her difficult situation.
