Story

When I was 28 I decided to help a small community of people in Bangladesh. Now, 12 years later, I am 40 and what started as a small gesture of help has turned out bigger than I ever imagined. 

I have dedicated my life to this community, putting my own desires, goals and dreams off until I have managed to secure the education of all the children in that community. More than 600 have already been educated and now only 127 children remain. 

I want nothing more for my birthday than some help to help me finish this project. My biggest wish is to raise enough funds this year to be able to secure the futures of these 127 children. I need to raise $479,000 and I can only do it with your help.

I may have educated more than 600 children and adults, but remain without an education myself. I hope that once the children's future is secure, I too can finish school and go to university. 

So if you wish to give me a birthday present this year, please do so here on this page. Your gift will not only be for me, but it will light up 127 worlds.

Thank you.

About the charity

Maria Cristina Foundation helps children and adults in the slums of Dhaka, Bangladesh break the cycle of poverty through education. We believe every child should have a chance to go to school and make a better future for themselves. Where a child is born must not define where he/she can go.
