Community Development
WE BELIEVE STRONG COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT UNDERPINS A CHILD’S CHANCES OF SUCCESS.
At Children’s Hope, we understand that a child’s success is deeply connected to the stability and well-being of their family. A child’s home environment greatly impacts their ability to study in school. That’s why our community development projects are designed to support families in crisis. Through these initiatives, we aim to create a stable environment where every child has the opportunity to thrive
‘We were made homeless when the local authority destroyed our house after branding most slum dwellers as unauthorised inhabitants. We did not have enough household income at the time to rent a place. This is when Children’s Hope provided us with a grant to set up a tailoring business which I run from home. Today I make enough money to rent a place for my family. Many thanks to Children’s Hope for helping us regain our dignity.’

Our Initiatives
-
MICROCREDIT SCHEME
People in Dhaka’s slums are refused access to loans and other basic financial services. In partnership with Prothithdhoni, we provide small, zero-interest loans to start or grow businesses. Our micro-credit scheme offers a pathway to greater independence and financial stability, empowering families to build sustainable livelihoods.
-
SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOODS
At Children’s Hope, we prioritise family support as a critical part of ensuring children can continue their education without interruption. Through our Sustainable Livelihood Development Project, we provide grants to families in crisis, offering them the stability they need to support their children’s education.
