A Real Story of Education, Poverty, and Hope in Korail Slum

In the heart of Korail slum, Dhaka, where survival is a daily struggle, lives a young girl named Ratna. Surrounded by poverty, limited resources, and uncertainty, Ratna carries a dream that refuses to disappear.

She wants to become a doctor-not for fame or money, but to serve people.

This is her real story.

Life Inside Korail Slum: A Daily Battle

Korail is one of the largest slums in Bangladesh. Families here face constant challenges:

  • No reliable gas for cooking
  • Unsafe drinking water
  • Poor roads and sanitation
  • Irregular electricity
  • Extremely limited income

Ratna’s family survives on her father’s income as a security guard and her brother’s job as a cleaner. Despite their hard work, the income is not enough to support education for all children in the family.

Because of financial hardship:

  • Ratna’s elder brothers had to stop studying and start working
  • Her sisters were married off early
  • Education became a privilege, not a right

Yet Ratna continues to study.

Education: Ratna’s Only Way Forward

Ratna is currently studying in Class 6. She attends coaching at Alingan Foundation, where she receives educational support, care, and encouragement.

Her parents deeply want her to succeed-but their means are limited.

“We want Ratna to study and fulfill her dream,” her mother says.
“But without support, it may not be possible.”

This is the reality for thousands of underprivileged children in Bangladesh-talent and dreams trapped by poverty.
