ABOUT JAAGO
JAAGO
Foundation
is a youth based non-profit organization based in Bangladesh, with
functioning volunteer liaison branches in seven countries: Australia,
Canada, Denmark, Malaysia, Qatar, USA and UK. JAAGO Foundation
initiated with a free-of-cost international standard on-room school for
slum
children in Bangladesh in 2008. Today, JAAGO Foundation has three fully
functioning schools all over Dhaka with 600 students, two major women
empowerment projects, a powerful nationwide volunteer platform, and a
new
school in the making in the port city of Chittagong. We have many
volunteers
all over the world who selflessly dedicate their time and energy to the
betterment of the poor and underprivileged population of Bangladesh
through the
education of their children.
JAAGO AIM
JAAGO
aims to bring about substantial improvement in the lives of
disadvantaged people with special emphasis on their literacy and
nourishment.
JAAGO works to provide international standard education to the impoverished children from families that have an average daily income below the International Indicator of Poverty (an income below 2 USD per day). This is done through a Free-of-Cost School with an international standard education curriculum.
JAAGO realizes that it is not possible to expect sustainable growth and self-reliance, without taking care of the emotional and physical development of all the stakeholders. As a result, various other programs have been established gradually to ensure the continuous growth of the community physically and mentally. 'Healthy Living', 'First Aid Center' and 'Call for Hygiene' are just some of the examples of such programs.
JAAGO MISSION
JAAGO
looks to create a better society for the next generation, which is free
of exploitation, discrimination and violence, and supports the
achievement of its highest potential.
No organization can succeed without focusing
on its future existence. JAAGO is similarly focused not only on its
current success but also on maintaining long-term sustainability. In
doing so, the foundation concentrates on expanding its operations, not
only in physical presence but also in program variation. JAAGO increases
its family, by adding one new class each year.
In the long-run, JAAGO Foundation intends to have a fully operational branch in every district of Bangladesh. JAAGO wishes to give as many children as possible the opportunity to break free of the cycle of poverty.
WHY JAAGO?
For only £6000 we
can help build the new school in Chittagong and as UCL is a educational
institution is seemed perfect to help build a school.
THE INCENTIVE
