They have clean water to drink, and safe toilets. Families have more than one way to earn income and can even save money for the future.

Education
Education
Children are motivated to attend school, thanks to the supplies and teacher training you helped provide. Now, 89% of children are completing primary school, including 91% of girls!
For 14-year-old Laboni, school used to be a place of distress rather than opportunity.
Without proper toilets or a place to wash their hands, students were often sick. If they did attend school, the smell made it impossible to concentrate. And girls like Laboni had no privacy to manage their periods.
But thanks to sponsors like you, that's changed! You helped build safe toilets, provide clean water, and teach families about hygiene. Today, Laboni’s school is clean and welcoming, and girls feel safe and confident to reach for their dreams. Her smile says it all!

Four out of five children now have a wide variety of foods to help them grow strong: veggies, fruit, protein, and milk for healthy bodies. Families are stopping malnutrition in its tracks.
Toilets at home and school protect children from disease. Plus children, and especially girls, are more likely to attend school if there is a safe, dignified toilet they can use.
With new skills and more than one source of income, families have the confidence to meet their children's needs. More families are forging pathways out of poverty and saving for the future.
Your gift keeps on giving
Thanks to your kindness, 5-year-old Roujatul and her family received a cow. The milk is nutritious and extra can be sold for an ongoing source of income.
Less sickness, more school
Handwashing stations at school mean students like 13-year-old Jannatul stay healthy and miss less class, giving them the best chance at a thriving future!
Brishti loves to learn

Healthy crops, healthy kids
