Zakat can Empower Poor Parents in Bangladesh

Bangladesh 

Dear Valued Sponsors,

Dakbhanga Bangladesh (DBD) has been implementing a primary education program by operating two primary schools since 1998 in the remote area of Ramu sub-district of Cox's Bazar district, Bangladesh to educate underprivileged children with the support of generous sponsors like you. The schools educate the children from ECD to Grade V with minimum support for the higher education of the project students.

In 2022, DBD launched a brand-new project called "Zakat Can Empower Poor Parents in Bangladesh" which depends on the collecting of Zakat from potential donors both domestically and internationally. It is intended to improve the socioeconomic standing of the impoverished who have school-aged children in their households. We are dedicated to assisting low-income parents who are forced to use their kids as slaves owing to their precarious financial situation. In the isolated, steep region of Ramu, Cox's Bazar, we are helping 5 households out of the 35 that were originally intended. We are supplying them with instruction and technical assistance so they can increase their incomes through various IGAs. Several of the parents work in agriculture, while others raise chickens, goats, or other continue support to the prioritized parents/families to continue their children’s education at least up to age 18, the parents need the support of enthusiastic people from the humanitarian community of the world as Dakbhanga have limited capacity to continue the activities.

We provided goats to a few families for fattening so they may add their income and support to their school-going kids to go forward.

With adequate oversight and documentation, DBD must spend the Zakat assistance budget for the designated school community. To help deserving parents realize their aim of providing for the education and future of their children, we are looking for new donors who will donate zakat regularly.
