Bashundhara Shuvosangho has stepped forward to support education for underprivileged and orphaned children in northern Bangladesh.

Many children in the region struggle to continue their studies due to a lack of essential school supplies.

On Friday (14 Nov), Shuvosangho’s Fulbari unit organised a distribution event at Panikata Dargabari Hafizia Orphanage Madrasah, located at Ward-2 of Eluari union under Fulbari upazila in Dinajpur.

Students of the madrasah, teachers and local dignitaries attended the event presided over by Hafiz Maulana Md Ibrahim Shah, principal of the madrasah.

Shuvosangho’s Fulbari unit President Md Sohel Rana, Joint General Secretary Al-Amin, and member Sohag attended.

During the event, students received notebooks, pens, pencils and various essential learning materials. The children expressed joy and excitement upon receiving the gifts.

Addressing the occasion, Maulana Ibrahim Shah, madrasah principal, said the institution is located in one of the poorest areas of the upazila.

“Children here suffer from a shortage of basic educational materials. This initiative by Shuvosangho will play an important role in expanding educational opportunities for them,” he added.

Teachers noted that despite various hardships, students at the orphanage are eager to pursue their studies. The received materials will help boost the children’s confidence and motivation, they said.

Praising the initiative, local residents said Shuvosangho’s efforts have set an example for promoting social awareness and education development in Fulbari.

The programme ended with prayers seeking long life and good health for Bashundhara Group Chairman Ahmed Akbar Sobhan.
