Overview
Education is the bend point for individuals to transcend their limitations. Underprivileged children lack the access for such advantage to go beyond their limitations. Many children in Bangladesh are not getting proper and quality education. They lack the basic necessity of every individual and there are many people who wish to help the unfortunate, many of them come forward through different means and try to help them. The emergence of Obhizatrik School is one of the means.
Obhizatrik School is one of the sustainable initiatives of the OBHIZATRIK Foundation’s educational program, inaugurated in 2013 and operating since registered under the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education. It has made it possible for gifted and hard-working children to have access to opportunities they could not have imagined before. Education means acquiring various skills in diverse fields that are vital to our life and very existence. Proper and quality education will not only help them but also can secure their family living standard. Along with proper and qualityful educational support, Obhizatrik School also ensures weekly medical health checkups as well as free medicine with nutritious food for the students and their parents. The School also assures that students can have fun whilst they learn. So it offers an annual study tour and yearly sport event to freshen up their mind and enhance their personality with extra-curricular activities.
Projects Under Education
OBHIZATRIK School
Bangladesh has not always been performing well in terms of education and literacy as much of the population is still left uneducated and completely dependent on manual labour as a source of income. Consequently, illiteracy is exactly what OBHIZATRIK School is trying to tackle and eradicate completely.
Our Impact
Where we focus in education
Obhizatrik School currently has 3 branches, located in Mirpur, Rayerbazar and Latarchar with a total of 600 students and 20 teachers. Latarchar branch has recently been established, which is a unique and special branch. Before the establishment of the school, children in that village had to walk more than 5 Kilometers to attend school in another village as they did not have one in their own village. Most of the children in Latarchar were deprived of the light of knowledge while they were associated with child labor.
Lack of proper and quality educational system increased the child marriage rate in that area. To eradicate these social dilemmas, Obhizatrik School inaugurated its first permanent campus in Latarchar in February, 2019. Learning became more attainable and convenient for the community. The community people welcomed the initiative with immense gratuity. Obhizatrik School aims to spread its branches for underprivileged communities to provide them with a scope to learn and boost their civic engagement.
All the children have many ambitions’ some want to be police officers, some want to be doctors and at the same time some want to be pilots. With proper and quality education their hopes and dreams can be a reality. Obhizatrik School intends to provide these opportunities for those who lack the financial capability, with a proper and qualitiful schooling system and makes it more accessible to them. Education is the strongest weapon through which a person can be an agent of social change maker and Obhizatrik School, along with its hard working volunteers and generous donors, aims to nurture such change makers.

Emon met his gurdian
Through the Sponsorship program, Emon’s education was sponsored by Mr. Athoi Rahman. He presently provides service at a private bank. Emon studies in grade 3 of OBHIZATRIK School, Mirpur branch. Last weekend Mr. Athoi Rahman paid a visit to our school to meet Emon. He spend a while interacting with Emon, asking about his studies, hobbies etc. They became close friends. This is how; you not only can sponsor a child’s education with only 1000 tk but can also become his guardian. This 1000 tk is properly utilized for the underprivileged child’s education, food, dress, stationeries and other necessities.
