Support our new Bangladesh education work.

Right now, there’s a lot of energy being put into launching new initiatives and the next generation of schools in Bangladesh. Bigger buildings, better facilities, Early Learning Centres for pre-schoolers and job training opportunities for teachers and teenagers. This is big commitment, but this is where you can help out big time. We are thrilled by the amazing generosity shown to our small charity so far, but there’s always room for more. You can give a donation to one (or more) of our activities, adopt a school or donate to our existing low-cost schools.

This Australian charity is bringing life and learning to Bhola Island in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh. 160 million people in a country two-thirds the size of the State of Victoria in Australia.

Everyday life is a constant struggle here, and the basic skills that we take for granted such as learning to read and write are for the fortunate ones - not for everyone.

For 20 years, our charity, CO-ID (Co-Operation In Development Australia Inc.) led by Fred Hyde, has been quietly building schools and child care centres in one of the poorest areas of Bangladesh, on Bhola Island in the Ganges Delta.

To date, we have built 43 schools with more on the horizon.

By helping to build the educational system and encourage the acceptance of basic primary education, we are creating a brighter future, using Bangladesh’s greatest resource - the children.
