Our Belief and Promise

We believe that by providing quality primary education and basic healthcare, we can help children in the slums of Dhaka, break the cycle of poverty, and aim for a better life.

We promise that with the generous help of our donors and contributors, we will aspire to change the lives of children and help countless destitute children all over Bangladesh.

the challenge

Young children from the slums of Dhaka have no access to education or healthcare. They are caught in an endless cycle of poverty and ill health.

how we help

Since 2010, ‘The Choice to Change Foundation’ has brought about a positive change in the lives of children. The benevolence of our donors, helps us provide these children with education, daily meals and healthcare.

the future

We hope to grow beyond Dhaka and extend our support to include every underprivileged child in Bangladesh. We would like to extend our scope to include community awareness campaigns, sustainability projects and to alleviating the living conditions of the students’ families.

how you can help

None of this would be possible without generous contributions from donors like you. Together we can bring in a huge change in the lives of these children. All of this goes towards building a better future for the world.
