Before your help, families struggled — children were malnourished, many dropped out of school to work, and girls faced child marriage. That's all changed.

You didn't just target the symptoms of poverty. You worked hand-in-hand with the people of Nilphamari Sadar to tackle its root causes. Now, children eat a variety of healthy foods and have clean water and safe toilets. Families have learnt new skills to earn income, their crops are flourishing, and they can save for the future. Children know their rights and are thriving in school, safe from child labour and marriage. Thank you!

Health

Health

Thanks to your kindness, almost all women are now giving birth at a health clinic with a skilled birth attendant, meaning safer births and better ongoing health for mums and babies.

Family income

Family income

Farming training has empowered more families to choose climate-smart ways to farm, like drought-resistant crops. Better yields mean more food for children and more family income.

Hygiene

Hygiene

Three out of four families now have safe toilets at home. Children can now protect themselves from disease and other dangers too, as they no longer need to venture away from home.


You’ve changed children’s lives. Thank you!

The people of Nilphamari Sadar created this special video to thank you for the amazing change you’ve made possible in their community.


"Proud of my village"

"Proud of my village"

Babita's village used to struggle with pollution, poor nutrition, and disease. But thanks to the kindness of sponsors like you, families received training in farming, veggie gardening, and caring for the environment.

As one of the first people to put her new skills into action, Babita's success encouraged others in the village.

Today, children are healthier, families earn extra income, and other communities are inspired to build a sustainable future.

It's amazing what's possible when your care comes together with the hard work of people like Babita!

See the difference you made possible

Your kindness helped construct water tanks, boreholes, and shallow wells. Thank you for helping to protect children and their families from water-related disease year round.

When parents can read and write, they have more opportunities, can make more informed choices about their children's lives, and can support their children's learning.

Good hygiene at school means children are healthier, so they attend more often and can reach for their dreams. You've helped make sure everyone knows that with good hygiene, they can prevent disease.

With your support, families improved their financial skills, such as household budgeting, and learnt new skills for new ways to earn income and forge pathways out of poverty.

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. You helped families stop malnutrition in its tracks.

You've helped children learn and assert their rights, including the right to stay in school instead of being forced to work or marry. Thanks to you, they are safer and building brighter futures.


Flourishing crops for thriving children, thanks to you!
