Qatar Charity (QC), with the support of philanthropists in Qatar, inaugurated 10 schools along with boarding facilities for orphaned and underprivileged students in Bangladesh.
The schools are expected to benefit approximately 2,000 male and female students. The schools were constructed in the districts of Faridpur, Bagerhat, B. Baria, Meherpur, Gaibandha, Gopalganj, Kustia, Bogra and Pirojpur. Each school has classrooms, boarding rooms, dining rooms and teachers’ rooms.
The students and their parents have thanked the kind gesture of the people of Qatar for providing support to build the new schools.
Mohamed Hasan, a 7th grader, said: “We are so joyful at getting new classrooms with boarding facilities, which provides us with a comfortable learning environment and makes us more attentive in class.”
Mohamed Faysal, an orphaned student, said: “In the past, there was no comfortable rooms for boarding students, but now we are happy with the new facilities.” Md Rashed Kabir, president of a school, said: “The locals are so happy with this new building, which is equipped with necessary furniture. It will surely inspire children to come to the school as well as increase the number of students.”
Moushumi Khanom, a government official in Meherpur, expressed her gratitude to the philanthropists in Qatar.
In the past five years, QC has built approximately 55 schools along with boarding sections for students, benefiting more than 12,000 students.
It also sponsors nearly 4,000 orphans in Bangladesh and provides them with all education expenses.
