How educational sponsorships helped Fahima become the first girl in her rural village to attend college.

Fahima, from a remote village in Netrokona, dreamed of becoming a teacher. However, poverty forced many girls in her village to drop out and marry early. Through our Girls Education scholarship and community advocacy, Fahima's family received school supplies, tuition support, and counseling. Supported by her sponsors, Fahima excelled in her secondary exams and became the first girl from her village to enroll in college. She is now a role model, showing her community the power of educating daughters.
