Education for Empowerment and Equity

At Aloshikha, we believe that education is not just a fundamental right β€” it is the foundation of empowerment, opportunity, and long-term development. Our education initiatives are designed to bring quality learning to those who are often left behind: children in remote villages, girls from marginalized families, and youth who have dropped out of the formal education system.

Bangladesh has made remarkable progress in primary education, but millions of children in hard-to-reach areas still remain underserved. Aloshikha is working to close that gap by ensuring inclusive, equitable, and quality education for all β€” with a focus on community participation, innovation, and gender sensitivity.

πŸŽ“ Our Key Education Programs

πŸ“˜ 1. Community-Based Schools

We operate non-formal and bridge schools in rural areas where formal schools are absent or insufficient. These schools provide a safe and inclusive learning environment where children can catch up on missed education and transition into mainstream education systems.

πŸ‘§ 2. Girl Child Education

We place a special focus on girls’ education, tackling the root causes of early dropout β€” including poverty, child marriage, and gender norms. Our interventions include awareness sessions for families, menstrual hygiene support, and scholarships for meritorious students.

πŸ“± 3. Digital Literacy & Learning Innovation

To prepare children and youth for the digital age, Aloshikha integrates digital tools and mobile learning platforms in select schools. We provide training to both students and teachers on using ICT to enhance teaching and learning outcomes.

πŸ§‘β€πŸ« 4. Teacher Training & Capacity Building

Qualified and motivated teachers are essential to quality education. We offer regular training programs to help teachers improve their pedagogical skills, adapt child-centered teaching methods, and create inclusive classrooms.

🏫 5. Early Childhood Education

We operate early learning centers that offer structured pre-primary education to children aged 3–5 years. These centers focus on cognitive, emotional, and social development in a safe and nurturing environment.

πŸ“Š Our Impact in Numbers

  • 5,200+ children enrolled in our community-based education programs

  • 62% of beneficiaries are girls

  • 100+ teachers trained across project areas

  • 20+ digital learning hubs introduced in remote villages

  • Drop-out rates reduced by over 45% in supported communities

🀝 Partnership & Community Involvement

We collaborate with local education authorities, parent-teacher associations, school management committees, and civil society organizations to ensure sustainability. Community participation is at the heart of our approach β€” because education is most impactful when it is locally owned.

πŸ’‘ Looking Ahead

Aloshikha is committed to expanding its education program to reach 10,000 children by 2030, with a renewed emphasis on inclusive education for children with disabilities and those from ethnic minorities. We aim to bridge the digital divide, scale teacher development, and build community resilience through learning.
