Taspiya Sultana
(Mohakhali Sattala Slum, Dhaka)
Taspiya is a resilient and determined young girl, navigating a challenging life with courage and perseverance. Raised in a family facing financial hardships, her father works as a rickshaw puller, and her mother, once employed as a maid, can no longer work due to an illness. Taspiya's immediate elder sister had to drop out of school after class nine due to their financial struggles and their mother's condition. Now, only Taspiya and her older brother are still in school. Taspiya’s family is committed to ensuring that she doesn’t face the same fate despite the mounting financial pressure and the rising cost of living. Even though Taspiya suffers from shoulder pain, she refuses to let this hinder her education and strives to keep up with her peers. Her resilience and determination reflect the strength of a young girl who refuses to give up, no matter the odds. A sponsorship would give her the support to continue her journey and ensure a brighter future for herself.
