Education
“All I wanted was an opportunity to educate myself. The Sponsorship Programme from Children’s Hope was the perfect gift that provided me with the best opportunity to fulfil my aim.”
Farzana - Scholarship Recipient
Marginalised communities in Bangladesh still face significant hurdles in accessing education due a lack of information technology. The Children’s Hope IT support programme was commissioned by New Look LTD to increase access to tech in Dhaka and enhance the learning process for our sponsored students.

Our Holistic Approach to Education
A child’s education does not end in the classroom. As such, Children’s Hope is committed to bridging the gap between students’ academic and personal lives through our RP Mentor Programme. This programme aims to support students’ mental and physical wellbeing and create a safe-space for communication and personal growth.
Children's Hope has helped 131 sponsored students graduate from university. Every single student is the first in their family to attend and successfully complete a Bachelors. We are honoured to help each of these students to break the cycle of poverty.

UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

VALUABLE SUPPORT SCHEME AND SPECIALIST COACHING
We understand that school comes with its own set of challenges. At Children’s Hope, we are deeply invested in the success and well-being of each child in our programme. As such, we conduct regular intervention and coaching sessions to give every student the specialised support they need to achieve to the best of their ability. We also provide university entrance coaching to ensure our students equal access to top Bangladeshi universities.
-
EXTRA CURRICULAR PROGRAMMES
We believe extracurricular activities are just as important for a child’s education as studying in the classroom. All children in the sponsored programme are given the opportunity to participate in a wide range of extracurricular activities to enrich their education. Our hope is that each child will be able to deepen their understanding of the world around them.

VOLUNTEERING SCHEME
At Children's Hope, we deeply value building community. Our Volunteering Scheme aims to build relationships between older student mentors and younger students in the programme.

SUCCESSFUL SSC (GCSE) STUDENTS
We are proud of our sponsored students motivation and hard-work in the face of adversity. Our SSC exam (equivalent to UK GCSE's) success rate is 99.9%, with an overall average student GPA of 94.5%.
-
CAREER ADVICE SESSIONS
Our support scheme doesn't end after graduation. To ensure the best chance of success for our sponsored students, we provide expert career advice sessions to help guide students towards the right careers for them. We work with each student to tailor a plan for their professional future. Once graduated, we also help our students to secure permanent employment.
