FIGHTING ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL

We have nearly 700 students at The Dhaka Project.
But unfortunately only about 400 students are regular.
According to the survey of our social welfare department, the fact is that the rest of them (around 300 students) either play or go to work during the school hours.

Then the Dhaka Project took an initiative to back them school... by just distributed 1 kg of rice, potato and pulse among the 400 students who used to come regularly to school.


We got immediate feedback from the students and most of them are regular students now.

This has been done thanks to the sponsorship provided by Matt Patton, in a repetitive kind gesture from him to our kids.

Thank you !
