LEEDO Street Children is a non-profit organization that has been working sacrificially and courageously for street children in Bangladesh since 2000. LEEDO takes care of these children in different areas. They provide emergency aid on the streets and provide food and clothing to the children there. They operate mobile schools in different hot spots in the city so that the street children can receive some basic education. LEEDO also actively rescues children from the streets and/or gets them out of child labor. In short, LEEDO makes an insanely important and dedicated contribution to children who would otherwise be relentlessly left to fend for themselves and live a hard and suffering life.
School under the sky
Our partner organization maintains so-called “Schools Under The Sky” (SuS) at four hotspots in the city so far. These hotspots are, for example, the large train station in Dhaka (Kamlapur Railway Station) or the ferry port (Sadarghat Launch Terminal), where countless street children stay. Briefly, a few words on how to imagine these SuS. First of all, it is not a school as we know it, with classrooms and a roof over the head. Our partner organization, in cooperation with the local authorities, designates a safe place for the students in the respective hot spots, which is then used for teaching and supervision. Classes are held on the ground on a tarp and in the open air. This is an informal educational concept, whereby the children are taught the basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic. For many children, it is their first contact with an educational institution.
With your support from Charity Circle we will be able to start another such School Under The Sky and cover the running costs completely for two years. The budget for this will be around 50,000 euros. The SuS will be built in the area around the big railroad station Tejgaon Railway Station and Kawran Bazar, where countless children live and where so far there are hardly any aid programs.
