Have you ever wondered how child sponsorship helps children continue their studies to reach future goals? Food for the hungry (FH) child sponsorship in Bangladesh helps children to continue their studies when parents are unable to do so. Nazmul Hossan, a former sponsored child, is one of example of this assistance.

Nazmul is a student of the Department of Population Sciences of University of Dhaka. In 2014, he got the opportunity to study at University of Dhaka, and it should be mentioned that this university is considered to be one of the finest universities of Bangladesh. But his journey from his village Trishal, to the University of Dhaka was not an easy one. Living in a family where only one person fed eight family members, poverty was a day-to-day struggle. Just thinking about studying in a university was considered a luxury. Nazmul has three sisters and two brothers, most of them studying in different schools. So thinking about sending Nazmul to the university was almost impossible for his parents. His father, Abul Monsur, is a farmer and is the sole provider for his family. His mother, Setera Begum, is a housewife.

In 2007, Nazmul reached a point when continuing his studies became nearly impossible because of his family’s financial hardship. But at that time FH Bangladesh extended its support to him and to his family. Nazmul became a sponsored child and received support from FH such as exam fees, regular school attendance monitoring, annual health check-up, gifts at Christmas etc. His mother also joined an FH-funded “Samprity” (Good Relationship) learning and savings group. She received adult literacy training ,as well as learned various lessons at her weekly group meetings. She saved money in her group and took out loans from the group to support the education of her children.

All this effort made a great impact on Nazmul’s life and his path from school to university was paved through this small assistance. Now he is studying at the university to fulfill his future dream of serving people by working as a government officer. In December, Nazmul also attended an NGO Lesson Learning Workshop as a speaker to represent child sponsorship success. At the workshop, he shared about his feelings of being an FH sponsored child in Bangladesh.

Nazmul says, “I can’t believe that I am studying in University of Dhaka. Around 42,000 applicants applied in this university and only 2,000 students were [accepted]. I am very happy that I got that chance. I will always be thankful to FH for providing me the support as a sponsored child and helping me to continue my studies.”

This is the kind of difference you make when you sponsor a child.
