Tabassum Jahan Ahona
(Feni Sadar, Feni)
Ahona is a bright Class 5 student with big dreams for her future. She lives in a family of four, including her mother and two siblings. Sadly, her father passed away from tuberculosis about three to four years ago, leaving the family with no steady source of support. Her mother works as a domestic helper, taking on whatever jobs she can find, but her earnings are very low—around 500 taka per month. Covering the family’s expenses is an everyday struggle. Ahona’s school fees are 200 taka, and her tuition costs 800 taka, which adds to the financial pressure. Ahona’s elder brother was studying in Class 10 but recently left his studies, as he could not stay focused on education. About a month ago, he started working at a shop to help meet the family’s expenses. Despite these challenges, Ahona remains determined to continue her studies and pursue a better future. A sponsorship would help relive the pressure off her family and ensure the continuation of her studies.
