It is the foundation for a progressive society. Considering that children at Sunderbans are unable to receive quality education, we decided to come together with Katakhali Swapnopuron Welfare Society NGO to help them empower children by providing them quality education. We want every child to have an equal opportunity to dream big, and through collaboration, we strive to give children a conducive ecosystem to support their education.
