Md. Hesham Hossain
(Mirpur 12 Slum, Dhaka)
Hesham comes from a family of three siblings. He and his elder brother are both continuing their education, while their younger sister is still very young and needs constant care. Because of this, their mother is unable to work outside the home. Their father works as a daily laborer, earning an unstable and very limited income. With this small earning, it becomes extremely difficult for him to manage the family’s daily expenses, house rent, and the education costs of his children. Life became even more challenging after their slum was demolished, pushing the family into deeper uncertainty and hardship. Despite all these struggles, the family somehow manages to survive day by day. Hesham has a strong interest in his studies and is determined to continue his education, even in the face of constant financial pressure. His parents, though struggling deeply, want to support his education as much as they can. With the support of a sponsorship, the family’s burden would be eased, and Hesham would be able to continue his studies without interruption.
