Where you are born
should not determine your future.
In Bangladesh, some children cannot continue their education because of financial hardship.
KIZUNA works with local staff to bring educational opportunities directly to children.
Being able to attend school is not a given.
For various reasons, many children in Bangladesh cannot fully enjoy their right to education.
Economic Inequality
Family finances greatly limit educational opportunities.
Barriers to Secondary Education
Many children leave education during the transition from primary to secondary school.
Barriers to Girls’ Education
Girls can face difficulties continuing their education, especially in rural areas.
Urban–Rural Divide
Regional differences in learning environments create unequal opportunities.
Delivering resources. Sustaining support.
Our support goes beyond temporary assistance. Continued follow-up supports children’s development over the long term.
We provide essential learning support, including tuition, uniforms and textbooks. We help cover necessary costs so that children do not have to give up school for financial reasons.
Resident local staff regularly visit schools and families, check children’s circumstances and provide additional support as needed.
After schooling, we continue to support independence through vocational training, employment assistance and more.
Direct support, on the ground.
Our work goes beyond remote assistance.
