About this program

In the villages where we work, the first thing that goes when a season fails is the children's school. Tuition is technically free, but uniforms, exam fees, private tutors for SSC, and lost wages from a child who could have been weeding a plot all add up.

Our stipend covers those real costs. Every recipient is recommended by their union council and the local mothers' group, and we visit each home once per term to keep the record honest.

What we do

  • Monthly stipend of ৳600 plus books and uniforms
  • SSC and HSC exam fee coverage
  • Two-evenings-a-week study circles run by local graduates
