Free-of-cost School for Underprivileged Children

Covid-19 pandemic brought the largest disruption of global education systems in history. When the pandemic first hit around, one and a half billion students were sent home as schools closed their doors. The lucky ones were able to pursue their studies online, but that's not even an option for many. Our country was already struggling to come to grips with educational inequality, and now, the COVID-19 is making it worse again. 

In this second lockdown, to continue the underprivileged children's education, JAAGO is providing Education to Students through Telephone and SMS. Your help is all these children need to continue their studies and become a student again! 

Every year, in Ramadan, we continue to serve humanity through our Zakat Relief Fund with your help. With your Zakat, we offer underprivileged children the light of education and help vulnerable families living in extreme poverty. This coming Ramadan, your Zakat can give an underprivileged child a chance to enjoy the luxury of education. With your support and contribution, these children will be ready to lead and give back to the world.

Continuation of Education through Telephones

With schools being locked down for the second time due to COVID-19, schools worldwide are moving to virtual classes to ensure proper learning. We had already provided education through our initiative Telephone Education among the underprivileged children last year with your support. Amid a nationwide lockdown that will be left millions of disadvantaged families unable to fulfil their children's basic needs, we are heading towards starting our mission once again. 

JAAGO Foundation has the tools for innovative technology in education to enable remote learning without going to schools or other institutions. In this global pandemic, the foundation has been trying to ensure that the students and their families can survive in this crisis and come back to school. Your contribution can help bring a child’s dreams to life by giving the child a chance to enjoy the luxury of education.

Zakat, as a Powerful Vehicle for Social Change

Ramadan can be more crucial than ever in the time of the coronavirus outbreak, mitigating the painful impacts of the pandemic with its powerful spirit. The coronavirus outbreak will make this Ramadan even more difficult for the poor and needy around the country. The virus will put further strain on those already struggling to feed their families.

Last year, despite the challenges of lockdowns, economic instability, and the devastating loss of many loved ones, you continued to serve humanity. Many of you donated your Zakat for the education of underprivileged students. We were able to help our children continue education along with food bags with your support. This year, we hope you would continue to help the vulnerable community with a part of your Zakat. By giving your Zakat to the underprivileged people of Bangladesh, you will ensure they can look onto the month of Ramadan with hope, not despair. This can make a substantial positive change in the lives of these underprivileged children. 

Gratitude Note

JAAGO is determined to move forward, overcome all the obstacles, and provide a better tomorrow where our children will have the opportunity to receive an education no matter what economic background they come from. However, 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 thousands of 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.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown caused our daily lives to come to a standstill. Education institutes all over the world are also closed for an indefinite period. While the world embraces online education more than ever, JAAGO is determined to educate children who do not have access to the internet or computer.

In order to continue the education of the underprivileged children, JAAGO came up with an innovative solution to provide Education to Students through Telephone and SMS! However, these children are in dire need of your help to become students again. Bring Them Back To School is an initiative to help continue the education of the JAAGO children and also help them feel a sense of normalcy in this unprecedented time. You can help JAAGO to continue this initiative by showing your love through your kind donations. With your love and contribution, these children will be ready to lead and give back to the world.

Background:

At the beginning of the pandemic lockdown, around March, JAAGO Foundation helped the families of our children, who did not even have food on their table, through our COVID-19 Relief initiative. However, within a couple of months, we realized that if we were not able to continue educating our children, it would set them back tremendously academically. Given the background of our JAAGO students, a basic internet connection is considered a luxury, let alone a smartphone or tablet. As we continue maintaining the government's decision to keep schools closed, we cannot employ the same means of providing education to our children as the rest of the world. Within two months, JAAGO initiated Telephone Education to ensure the continuation of studies of the children during this crisis. 

To begin with, we had our teachers trained by professional psychologists so that they understand the circumstances of the children and possess the same teaching credibility and experience in designing the curriculum as a traditional teacher. After ensuring that the teachers were trained, SMS and phone calls were made by these teachers to every student individually according to their needs. 

Unfortunately, in the midst of the troubled times during this pandemic, many of JAAGO’s previous sponsors faced challenges themselves and stopped supporting the education of their sponsored children. So, now we turn to you to help them continue to dream big and take on the world, one phone call at a time. You can come forward and join our cause to help these children in need.  With your support, these underprivileged students at JAAGO schools will have a greater chance of escaping poverty by getting a quality education, improving the standard of living of their communities, and have healthier and productive lives.
