Hope and vision

Hope and vision

When you see 20-year-old Brishty standing confidently in front of her university classmates, you might find it hard to imagine how much her family once struggled.

Yet as a child, every day for her family was a struggle to survive.

They lived in a simple hut made of straw. While her mother cared for Brishty and her other children, Brishty’s father tried to find jobs as a day labourer.

But as hard as they worked, her parents weren’t able to provide three meals a day for Brishty, let alone meet other needs like schooling or even proper clothes.

Thank goodness a generous sponsor like you came along at just the right time for Brishty. Her mum shares:

“When the family was in a critical situation, World Vision came to our village and included my daughter Brishty in the sponsorship programme.

“First, Brishty received a glass for drinking water.”


After clean water, sponsors like you opened doors to early childhood education for Brishty and hundreds of other local children, and then primary school.

Brishty says she looks back on those early school years fondly, as the start of her love of learning.

While a kind sponsor like you supported Brishty through school, you also helped her family build a brighter future. They received two goats, vegetable seeds, and training.

As their goats grew, the family sold them and bought a cow to provide milk for income. That income helped the family pay for Brishty’s education.

With a sponsor like you by their daughter’s side, Brishty’s parents continued working hard. They started a fruit business. They built a brick house and a fruit and grocery store…

…and today, Brishty’s family employs 50 people in their fruit orchards!

As for Brishty, she’s now studying physics at university and dreams of being a Bangladesh Civil Service Cadre Holder (a top government job).

Brishty shares that distance is no barrier to love. It reaches anyone, anywhere. She knows this because of the love she felt from her sponsor, someone just like you. And she’s so grateful to all sponsors for their help:

“Thank you for encouraging us to see ahead with hope and vision.”

From struggling to eat to a university student, this is the life-changing difference sponsors like you made for children like Brishty in Nilphamari Sadar.

What a precious gift you are. Thank you for your life-changing love!
