Hi, I am Kajal; I  received my sponsorship in 2009 when I was a student of class VIII.  I am now a candidate for the Higher National Certificate exams. However, I could not produce good results in some of my pre-exam tests. I felt depressed and did not know what to do. My parents were not in a position to provide me with additional tuition to overcome my weakness on certain subjects. Children’s Hope then put me under Vulnerable Students’ Support Scheme and I now receive specialised coaching until my major exams start. As a student of vulnerable support scheme, I also receive other educational support such as regular counselling. Receive this invaluable coaching support has been pivotal for me to feel confident and to appear for these important college exams. 

Liz was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and speech delay from birth.  Recently she developed convulsions and was admitted to the local children's hospital immediately as organised by CH doctor.

CT scans of her brain showed that she had developed generalises cerebral Atrophy. Liz received immediate treatment and was put on expensive medication, which is also provided by Children’s Hope on a monthly bases.

Children’s Hope Acute Care service enabled Liz to be diagnosed and treated without delay,  this is important to minimise further health complications.

I cannot express how grateful I am to the acute care action of Children’s Hope health care program.

I’m Aysha Akter Turna. I embarked on Children’s Hope (CH) sponsorship program in 2009 when I was in class VII. From my childhood, I had a dream to become a doctor. But I was born in a very poor family and my parents could not send me to an appropriate school. This was until Children’s Hope came to my life, and I soon found hope and confidence  to fulfil my dream.

With the help of the comprehensive education program, today I am a medical student at Mymensing Medical College. I live at the medical college campus, this became possible because of the non-residence facility of Children’s Hope Education option, which enabled me to live and study outside home. My family is not able to bear the extra cost of my accommodation and food incurred due to living on site.

In addition to my monthly residential cost, I also receive from Children's Hope the full education expenses as a medical student. 

Lubna always wanted to be an accountant. She received her sponsorship at a crucial time when her father, who was the only household earner, passed away. The family had no choice but to migrate to their village home, leaving behind Lubna at her relative's house when she was only 12 years old. Through her sponsorship she not only received financial support, but more importantly psychological support from Children’s Hope support services.

Lubna successfully finished school and college education and finally completed her graduation with a first class in Business Studies, all with the help of the sponsorship program. Children's Hope sponsorship program also enabled her to secure a placement at a Chartered Accountancy firm KPMG. There she has done well, finishing all in-service courses successfully and within a year she is expected to be a bona-fide Chartered Accountant, which is her ultimate career destination point.

"From an early age I have been involved in contributing to the overall family income whilst simultaneously continuing my school education. Managing both tasks was not easy.  This was when Children's Hope came forward and sponsored me at the age of 13.  Sponsorship has removed a huge burden from my shoulders because the organization was not only supporting my education cost, but also helping my family, both in terms of total healthcare as well as other support. With the help of Children’s Hope education support, for about 11 years, I have successfully completed my school, college and university education. Following my graduation in finance I was seeking a suitable employment, once again  Children’s Hope was there for me to help me take another step in my career development. Children’s Hope found employment for me as a Development Officer at a local industry. I have been working there for the last 11 years and gradually I have been promoted to managerial level.  I now earn enough money and my family are all well off as a result. Today I have stamped out poverty from our daily life and Children’s Hope has been the catalyst for my success." Shahadat Hossain

From the confines of a tiny tea stall, Shamsuddin long dreamed of setting up something bigger; a corner grocery shop to provide more security for the future of his disabled child, Rabuil, and to fund a move away from the slum dwelling without electricity in which he and his family of six lived in. But he never managed to get very far due to lack of available finance. Children’s Hope, who had provided nutrition, healthcare and other assistance to Rabuil in the past, awarded him a further grant of US$257 (£210) towards his total investment, which has at last enabled him to set up the shop. Soon his business started to generate the extra cash needed to relocate his family to more secure accommodation, where there is more room and the roof doesn’t leak in the monsoon.
