Alingan Foundation is dedicated to creating opportunities for underprivileged children in Bangladesh, ensuring every child has the chance to learn, grow, and dream. Through education sponsorship and storytelling, we aim to empower children to overcome adversity and build a brighter future.
Tanzina, 9, and her younger sister Farzana, 6, live with their family in Korail Slum, Dhaka. Their father, Md Bayjit Mia, works tirelessly as a rickshaw driver-the sole breadwinner for five children, including four sisters and one brother. Daily life is a struggle, and financial hardship makes it impossible for their elder siblings to continue education, while many opportunities remain out of reach for Tanzina and Farzana.
Despite these challenges: Tanzina and Farzana exhibit remarkable resilience and determination. Both sisters have a love for dancing, art, and singing, finding joy and hope in their creativity even amidst the difficulties of slum life. Tanzina dreams of becoming a doctor one day, and Farzana shares her sister’s aspirations to make a difference in the world. Their young minds already think beyond survival-they dream of helping others and building a brighter future for themselves and their community.
Life in Korail Slum is not easy: Attending school is a daily challenge, as resources are limited and financial constraints block access to proper education. Yet, Tanzina and Farzana face each day with courage, showing that hope and determination can thrive even in the harshest conditions.
Alingan Foundation is committed to supporting children like Tanzina and Farzana. By providing educational sponsorship, guidance, and opportunities, we strive to ensure these sisters can continue their education, nurture their talents, and move closer to their dreams. Every child deserves dignity, a chance to learn, and the opportunity to grow into a confident, empowered individual.
Your support can make a real difference in their lives. By watching Tanzina and Farzana’s story and contributing to their education, you are helping create a path for them to achieve their dreams. Together, we can give children like them the opportunity to not just survive, but thrive-turning dreams into reality.
