Bithe
(Kapasia, Gazipur)
Bithe is the youngest of four siblings and one of the top students in her class. Despite her academic excellence, continuing her education is a daily struggle due to her family’s financial situation. Her father, a hardworking farmer, is the sole provider for their family of six. Farming alone brings in a small and unreliable income, which is often not enough to meet the family’s basic needs. To earn a little extra, he also drives an auto-rickshaw whenever he can. But that, too, only brings in 100 to 300 taka a day which is barely enough to make ends meet. Covering Bithe’s educational expenses, tuition fees, books, and school supplies, has become increasingly difficult for her father. As costs continue to rise each year, it’s getting harder to ensure that Bithe can stay in school and receive the education she deserves. They couldn't even pay the due fees for her school tuition and private tutoring.With a sponsorship, she can continue her education without interruption and access the resources she needs to succeed. It would also help ease the financial burden on her father, who works tirelessly to give his children a better future.
