JIBONDHARA School
Providing free high-quality education to underprivileged children in Bangladesh, JIBONDHARA School is a transformative initiative committed to empowering students and breaking the barriers to education. Recognized globally, it has been honored as a top finalist in the prestigious Zayed Sustainability Prize’s Global High School category.
JIBONDHARA School, established in 2013 under the auspices of the JIBONDHARA Foundation, represents a sustainable and transformative initiative dedicated to providing high-quality education to underprivileged children in Bangladesh. The school is committed to eliminating barriers to education by assuming full responsibility for all associated expenses, ensuring that these children receive free access to education.
The primary objective of the school is not only to alleviate poverty but also to empower its students to become active and engaged global citizens. In addition to delivering a comprehensive and inclusive curriculum, JIBONDHARA School goes above and beyond by providing essential support services to its students, including regular medical check-ups, complementary healthcare, and nutritious meals. The school further fosters holistic development through the organization of enriching study tours and engaging sports events. Moreover, recognizing the integral role parents play in shaping their children’s lives, the school extends livelihood projects to empower and uplift families.
With its three branches (Mirpur, Rayerbazar & Latarchar) and a student body of 600, the JIBONDHARA School has achieved a notable impact on the communities it serves. The establishment of the Latarchar branch at Patuakhali, remote Southern Island in 2019 marked a significant milestone as it brought accessible education to a previously underserved village, sparing children the burden of traveling long distances to attend school. Embracing a profound belief in the transformative power of education, the JIBONDHARA School strives to extend its reach to financially disadvantaged children across Bangladesh, recognizing education as the key to unlocking a brighter and more prosperous future. This noble endeavor is made possible through the tireless efforts of dedicated volunteers and the unwavering support of generous donors, collectively working towards nurturing a generation of change-makers.
