Rashid spends every day in a scorching hot room, bent double as he packs hundreds of boxes for just 15 pence a day.
During the Bangladeshi summer the heat can become unbearable, but he works at a steady pace - usually filling 80 boxes an hour.
Rashid is just 12 years old.
“I don’t mind working because I know I have to help my parents” he says, “what I earn helps pay for our food. We eat rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner.”
He lives with his mum, dad and two sisters in one room of a house which they share with nine other families. That means 40 people share two toilets and one kitchen.
Thanks to your help though, Rashid and his family have the chance to escape the desperate poverty they are trapped in.
When he finishes work, your cash has allowed him to swap his work clothes for a crisp new school uniform. During the short walk from the factory to his new school, Rashid becomes a child again.
“Before I started coming to this school I didn’t have anywhere I could come and learn new things” he says. Now he’s top of his class in maths and studying hard. His teacher thinks he’s got a bright future ahead of him if he can afford to stay in school.
Rashid has worked hard to deserve that chance. Your money is giving it to him.
We can’t stop every child like Rashid from having to work – sadly there are almost eight million kids in Bangladesh who simply have no other choice.
But, with your help, we’re ensuring that working children are kept safe and that their welfare is properly taken care of.
We’re also giving them the chance to go to school. Getting an education provides them with their only realistic route out of poverty.
£30 could enable a teacher in Bangladesh to work for an entire month so that they can give 25 working children a vital education. Without these classes, children like Rashid would almost certainly be destined for a life of poverty and hardship. You can change all that.
