Free-of-cost School for Underprivileged Children

As the students of JAAGO Foundation Schools participate in their final exams, it does not only reflect the culmination of another school year; rather, it’s a testament to an entire year of growth and learning. Throughout the year, our students engaged in numerous activities both inside and outside of the classrooms. Let’s discover a fragment of their accomplishments and experiences-

JAAGO Annual Science Fair 2023:
On March 11, 2023, the JAAGO Foundation held its Annual Science Fair. The empowering event was a celebration of science and innovation, where the students of JAAGO Foundation schools showcased 22 projects that tackled various global issues. Initiatives like this help students feel confident and creative and foster a spirit of scientific inquiry.

Dengue Awareness Campaign:
When dengue was creating havoc across the country, the students of JAAGO Foundation schools came forward to safeguard their loved ones and neighbours from this dangerous mosquito-borne disease. Through a remarkable awareness campaign, the young change-makers created stunning posters and spread vital information about dengue prevention, symptoms, and treatment. They engaged in meaningful discussions regarding the topic with their families, friends, and neighbours, making sure everyone was well-informed about the menace of dengue and the measures to keep it at bay.

Smart Children’s Carnival:
JAAGO student Rumi attended the ‘Smart Children’s Carnival’ organised by the ICT Division, Bangladesh, where she shared the stage with the Honourable President of Bangladesh, Mohammed Shahabuddin, as a speaker. She was also invited to host the closing ceremony of the event. It was indeed a proud moment for all of us.

Establishment of Girls’ Support Corners:
To help our female students, JAAGO established Girls’ Support Corners in our schools containing free sanitary pads from Shaathi, emergency medicines, menstrual health-related materials, etc. In addition, Girls’ Champion Clubs were formed in schools where girls could share knowledge regarding menstrual health among themselves, be the bridge of communication between female students and the school authorities and maintain a support system for those who need it.

HPV Vaccination:
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, a crucial measure to prevent cervical cancer, a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women globally. This vaccine is given to all eligible girls between the ages of 9 and 26 free of cost by the government of Bangladesh. To ensure the sound health of our female students, we organised an HPV vaccination session at JAAGO Foundation Banani School.

Knowledge is Power Scholarship:
3 brilliant students of JAAGO Foundation School, who passed their SSC exams with remarkable scores, were gifted a ‘Knowledge is Power’ scholarship to support their higher secondary education. The students were excited and humbled to receive such an opportunity.

JAAGO Student Tamanna went to Armenia:
Tamanna, a 17-year-old meritorious student of JAAGO Foundation School, secured a fully funded scholarship to attend the prestigious United World College (UWC) in Dilijan, Armenia. The scholarship was facilitated by the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, which is a two-year educational program primarily aimed at 16-to-19-year-olds in 140 countries around the world. Tamanna wants to make the best of this opportunity and build a better world for herself and her loved ones.

Our little champions have many more achievements that we cherish and celebrate, and this has been possible because of your support. Thank you for your generous contributions that enable us to provide underprivileged children with quality education that will help them break the cycle of poverty and create a better tomorrow for themselves and their families.
Together, we are creating a world of difference—one child at a time. 

At JAAGO Foundation Schools, we not only provide underprivileged children with formal education, but we empower them to embrace opportunities they might otherwise be denied. To help them become the best version of themselves, we engage our students in activities outside of their textbooks to foster their creativity, boost their confidence, and inspire them to cultivate the skills they’re truly passionate about.

With each passing day, these students move one step closer to a better future, and we are glad to be a part of their journey.

Here are a few events that our students recently participated in:

SSC Test Exams: The 2024 SSC candidates of JAAGO Foundation School recently sat for their test exams. These exams work as a pre-evaluation method, and only students who pass the test exams can sit for the SSC exams. The students are thrilled to have the opportunity and aim to pass with flying colours.

Smart Children’s Carnival: Rumi, a class 10 student of the JAAGO Foundation Banani School, joined the opening ceremony of the Smart Children’s Carnival hosted by the ICT Division of Bangladesh as a speaker and shared the stage with the Honourable President of Bangladesh, Mohammed Shahabuddin. Impressed by her speech, she was invited to host the closing ceremony of the event, which was graced by the presence of our Honourable Education Minister and the Honourable State Minister of the ICT Division. 

2023 Science Film Festival: Goethe-Institut Bangladesh recently hosted the 2023 Science Film Festival. 30 students from JAAGO Foundation Schools were invited to the opening ceremony of the event. A group of our students showcased their Ecosystem Restoration Project at the event, while another group of students amazed the audience with their dance performance, making this event truly unforgettable. 

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who, through your contributions, have enabled JAAGO Foundation to provide these underprivileged children with quality education and equal opportunities. With your generosity, we can continue our relentless efforts to break the cycle of poverty through education, empower these young minds, and help them reach for the stars.

Together, we can make a real difference and create a world where all children have an equal shot at a promising future.
