Working children
13 year old Nandini, seen in the picture above, never went to school. She works as a weaver to supplement her family's income. Thanks to local project partner Society for Human Education (SHE) Nandini attends non formal education classes for out-of-school children. Non formal education provides working children the opportunity to study at a convenient place, pace and time. Nandini is studying for her 10th standard diploma.

33 million children, about half of all Bangladeshi children, live in poverty. One in four children is deprived of food, education, health, information, shelter, water and sanitation. It is estimated that 5 million people live in slums, 8 million children are working and only 48% of the population is literate. The countries geographical position makes it highly vulnerable to natural disasters such as cyclones and floods.
