Free-of-cost School for Underprivileged Children

It has been over more than one and a half years since the pandemic was announced. This time last year, we were unsure of how the current pandemic would affect us. One year on, we have learnt a lot and are now confident that we can continue providing education to children as best as possible. 

Due to the pandemic last year, the Bangladesh government shut down all education institutes on March 17, 2020. After 18 months, our students returned to the campus in a festive mood in September. The school authorities greeted the students with a warm welcome.

After successfully conducting digital classes, we are happy to resume our classes in 11 schools following strict & proper safety protocols and guidelines. We are delighted to see our schools lively again! 

Our students from Reception to Kindergarten are still doing their classes online & through TelEd (Telephone Education) for their safety. The students of Class 1 to 4 are coming to the schools twice a week. Besides, the senior grade students from Class 5 to 10 regularly attend the schools at alternative times. Currently, around 2418 students from Class 1 to Class 10 are physically attending classes in our 11 branches on a scheduled basis. The rest of the students from Reception- KG is attending classes from home. We hope to see them on school campuses soon.

We cannot thank you and all our well-wishers enough for supporting us during these difficult times. It is your support that has kept us going. Thank you for giving these children access to education even in this crisis. But more children need your help. Only your generous support can help children not to drop out of school and continue learning. 

Thank You Note 

We wish to express our sincerest gratitude to the well-wishers and donors of this project. They allow children to receive a quality education and pave the way to bring about sustainable change within their communities, supporting the nation in the future. With your donations for education, we dream about bringing a positive difference to this world. We dream of a better community, a poverty-free country, a healthier nation, and a safe abode for all children. And your donations are going to be the first step towards bringing this positive change.

Rabeya* from JAAGO Bandarban school does not want network issues to disrupt her education. So she travels miles every day to her school and calls her teachers to take lessons and homework. But she is in need of your support currently. Help children like Rabeya get an education and take on the world.

Rabeya studies in grade 4 at JAAGO Bandarban school. She is receiving her education over the telephone, as schools are now closed due to the pandemic. However, her home in Bandarban is in a hilly area outside of telephone and mobile network coverage. Not willing to let this disrupt her education, she travels every day to her school campus with her father, which has network access and calls her teachers to take lessons and homework. She sits on the school balcony every day until sunset and finishes her homework and studies. For her security, one of our community officers accompanies her during her entire stay at the school premises. 

Because of supporters like you, Rabeya and her family have hope that she’ll be able to go back to school and have another chance at a childhood. Creating lasting change in the lives of these children facing a crisis, poverty is absolutely not possible without you.

But there are more children across Bangladesh who share a similar story and need your urgent support. Please give now to ensure we can help children like Rabeya each and every day moving forward.

Gratitude Note:

JAAGO Foundation has always dreamt of a better tomorrow where our children, no matter what economic background they come from, will have the opportunity to receive an education. And it couldn't have been possible without our NGO partners, corporates, donors, and well-wishers who have been our companions in the journey of fulfilling this dream. Your help and support have always inspired us to move forward. Thank you for your generous support of our “Free of Cost School for Underprivileged Children” project, which has been able to put a smile on the faces of 4000 underprivileged children. We would love to express our appreciation on behalf of all JAAGO students, teachers, parents, and employees. With you all, we dream of a beautiful future.
