Free to learn.
Free to laugh.
Free to live.
(Can you free up some dollars for a donation?) |
At CO-ID we are striving to change the perception that education is wasted on girls and provide equal opportunities to both sexes. It may sound odd to us, but in this part of the world, it certainly doesn't. Girls still struggle to enjoy the same rights and opportunities taken for granted by boys.
A CO-ID school provides a free education system to all students which also covers their stationery needs as well as other necessities. There's also no payment for exams and The Bangla Government provides text books free.
Having the mothers involved in the school committee helps ensure that the children stay at school even when they get to 10 or 11 years old, an age where many go out to work - not through choice but necessity.
When students leave the school they find they are able to find work much more easily as they are able to read and write - minority skills on Bhola Island.
