Afsana's Story During Sponsorship Application:

Afsana is a bright and determined 2nd-grade student at I.P.H. School and College in Dhaka. She comes from a large family, with two older sisters and a younger brother. Her family faces significant financial challenges. Afsana’s mother works as a cleaner, but her income is not enough to support the family’s needs. Additionally, Afsana’s father is a day laborer but he can't always work as he's not fully stable mentally. Still, he tries to work whenever he finds one. Due to financial constraints, two of her siblings had to be sent to the village, but despite these hardships, Afsana’s family continues to struggle to make ends meet. A sponsorship would make a significant difference, enabling Afsana to stay with her family in Dhaka and continue her education without interruption.
