Dear Valued Development Partners,
Dakbhanga Bangladesh (DBD) has been operating two primary schools in the remote Ramu sub-district of Cox's Bazar district, Bangladesh, since 1998 as part of a primary education project for underprivileged children, thanks to generous contributors like you. The project students receive ECD to Grade V education at schools and with limited support for their secondary and postsecondary education.
The Zakat initiative has been supporting impoverished and needy school-age children within the catchment area of the Dakbahanga Education Project. These initiatives depend on the collection of Zakat from potential donors, including the staff of Dakbhanga Bangladesh and friends from home and abroad. The aim of the project is to enhance the living conditions of low-income families whose children are enrolled in our project schools. They are studying with our regular students of both schools, but we are supporting them from our Zakat fund for school dress, educational materials, and other materials and sometimes with cash support to ease their living.
We are now supporting 10 families with this Zakat fund selected from our 4 school communities and another 2 new locations in the Netrokona and Jashore districts of Bangladesh. We are supporting them to develop their capacity for a living standard and to continue their children's scope of learning. Zakat can increase their family income. We hope to support more families to set the families economic solvency by which they can ensure safer education and basic needs of their children, especially school-aged children. We are dedicated to assisting low-income families so that their children can complete primary school and continue their education until they reach eighteen. However, Dakbhanga lacks resources, so to sustain our activities, parents urgently require help from the global humanitarian community, including support from local sources. Operating this initiative is more challenging in the new global situation without the cooperation of generous friends from overseas.
Dakbhanga Bangladesh (DBD) must continue providing zakat support to the selected community of two primary schools and three feeder schools that get ECD support to maintain its programs. Dakbhanga, Bangladesh, is looking for more contributors to donate to the Zakat Fund to assist poor parents to continue their children's education to a specific secured level, with a minimum age of 18, enabling them to create a better future with a minimum standard of daily life.
