Islamic Help’s work with children from a deprived background in Bangladesh. For over 10 years Islamic Help has been working directly in Bangladesh, currently they are running projects to support orphans and also street children and children from low-income households.

Children who are orphans are given regular sponsorship and children who are living on the street and susceptible to violence, substance abuse, trafficking and other gruesome realities are given the opportunity to develop themselves at Islamic Help’s unique cricket academy. The cricket academy provides a platform for young children and teenagers who are living on the streets or from a low-income household, to receive professional, regular training and pursue a career in cricket. 

They are also provided with informal education and food but more than anything, they’re provided with a chance and a place of safety where they can grow and fulfil their potential, something which is usually only accessible to the wealthy. As cricket is one of Bangladesh’s most loved sports, this is a unique way to engage with children who are usually quite hard to reach.

This is a project which is quite dear to me as I have always wanted to help the children in Bangladesh. I have always seen videos of them roaming the streets and it tugs on my heart that I have never been able to do much for them. 

By sponsoring me, you will allow Islamic Help to continue their work with children in Bangladesh, the orphans, the street children and those from a low-income household. 

Please dig deep and donate!
