Hello, everyone. My name is Md. Shamim Hossain, and I’m thirteen years old. I live with my mom in a small room at my uncle’s house because my dad left us and doesn’t help us. My mom is amazing and hardworking; she earns a living at a garment factory, but unfortunately, her salary isn’t enough to pay for all the things I need for school. We have to share a single bathroom and kitchen with other people, and I still carry with me the sad memory of the day when a fire swept through the entire slum and destroyed our previous home. Still, I try not to lose hope or my smile. I’m in sixth grade, where my favorite subject is English, and after school I like to play soccer with my friends. I have a huge dream—I want to become a pilot one day, fly among the clouds, and provide a better and safer life for my mom. Will you please help me get an education and get closer to my dream?

Warm greetings to you all. My name is Farida Monira Akter, and I am thirteen years old. I fondly remember my hometown of Bhola, full of blooming meadows, green fields, and carefree open spaces—a stark contrast to my life today in a crowded and noisy shantytown shack made of sheet metal and wood. I live here with my parents and siblings, and recently I’ve had to help out a lot around the house because my mom broke her leg badly. Fortunately, she’s doing better now; she can put a little weight on it and take a few steps. My dad works as an electrician, which is a dangerous job, and his income is the only thing keeping our family afloat. Neither of my parents has an education—they can only sign their names—so I really want to achieve more. I study hard at school; I enjoy English, I like to draw, and in my free time I play badminton. My big dream is to become a banker so that I can provide my family with financial stability and a better life. I would like to thank the donors in advance.

Greetings from faraway Bangladesh. My name is Raisha Mahamuda Eva, and I’m nine years old. I live with my parents and my younger sister in a crowded rented apartment in Dhaka, where we have to make do with very little. We went through our hardest times last year, when my dad had a stroke and ended up in the hospital. This terrifying experience, combined with our financial struggles, affected me deeply, but at the same time, it sparked a huge desire in me to help others—because my big dream is to become a doctor. In the future, I want to treat poor, sick people and spare other families the fear that we ourselves have experienced. My dad now works as a driver, and my mom earns extra money by tutoring, but their uncertain income barely covers our expensive rent, and there’s nothing left for my school supplies or uniform. Despite this, I study very hard at school; I love Bengali, painting, and dancing. Will you please help me stay in school so I can make my dream come true?

Good morning, everyone. My name is Jorna, and I’ll be turning fifteen soon. I live in a mountainous region in eastern Bangladesh, in a small village called Khamtang Para. There are a lot of us at home—I have two older brothers and a seriously ill sister whom my mom takes care of. Since 2024, when our dad passed away, things have been pretty tough at home. My brothers work as laborers, but what they earn isn’t enough to support the whole family.  Despite everything, I haven’t lost hope and am studying hard at the AHTSS boarding school. I’m now nearing the end of ninth grade; next year I’ll be in tenth grade, and then I’ll take the SSC exams, which are the lower-level high school graduation exams. So for now, I’m seeking support for just under two years, until the summer of 2028. After that, I would, of course, like to continue my studies and become a nurse, but for now I’m focusing on this milestone. If you decide to support me, you’ll enable me to complete my education and get closer to my dream. Thank you very much for your support.

Hello, my name is Momin, and I’ll be celebrating my twelfth birthday soon. I live with my family in Dhaka in a single small room, and even though we went through a difficult time when a fire completely destroyed our home, we’re not giving up. My dad works as a bricklayer, but his irregular income is barely enough to cover rent and basic food. That’s why my mom sews beads onto saris to make extra money, and I work hard to help her after school—I’ve gotten really good at it (check out my photos—you’ll see for yourself). Even so, I really enjoy going to school, where I’m in sixth grade, and math is my favorite subject. During recess, I love playing soccer or badminton with my friends. My biggest dream is to become an army officer in the future so that I can faithfully serve my country and take good care of my parents. Without the help of donors, however, it would be difficult for me to continue my education, because we don’t have enough money for school supplies or a uniform. Your support will allow me to stay in school and fight for my future. Thank you all very much.

Hello everyone, they call me Rabbi. I live with my parents in a little house with a tin roof in the Ershadnagar slum. Just imagine—at first, all five of us brothers had to fit into a single small room! But my oldest brother has already gotten married and moved out, so now there are just the four of us boys and our parents. My dad works as an auto-rickshaw driver and does odd jobs, but it’s incredibly hard for him to support the family on such a modest income. I started attending Tongi School in January 2026; I’m now in third grade, and I really enjoy learning. Most of all, I love reading books, drawing pictures, or playing ball with my friends. At home, I like to help out with chores, and I dream of becoming a teacher one day. However, without your help, it would be too difficult for my parents to pay for my education and school supplies. I thank you from the bottom of my heart if you decide to support me on my journey.
