The Challenge

Girls in rural Bangladesh now start primary school at high rates, but many leave before finishing secondary school, early marriage being the main reason. Rural students trail urban peers in completing secondary school, and girls from low-income families are the most likely to drop out. Though child marriage remains common, poverty, limited higher schooling investment, lack of availability of jobs for women make the problem harder to solve. Literacy gaps also persist, especially among older women.

Our Response

Education opens doors to independence and a brighter future. At our clinic, we believe in its power, especially for women in rural Bangladesh, where many girls leave school early because of financial hardship and cultural expectations. Through scholarships and vocational training, we help young girls and women continue learning and build the skills to support themselves. Thanks to your generosity, 8 women have already received support, and we are proud to share few of their stories.

Tasleema’s Success Story

In 2019, thanks to your donations, we were able to offer Tasleema a four-year nursing scholarship, our first of its kind. Today, we celebrate her incredible accomplishment: after completing her nursing degree and a six-month internship, she is ready to gain work experience and train in specialized nursing. Tasleema's journey demonstrates the power of education to change not only individual lives but also communities. Without your support, this milestone would have been out of reach.

Arobi’s Journey

Arobi, our needs-based nursing student, is about to enter her final undergraduate year. She is determined to complete her education and return to her community, where she can make a significant impact as a trained nurse. With your continued support, Arobi and many other young women will be able to pursue their education and secure a better future.
