These five children are from Dom Community of Bara District. They have never attended school. They are unable to go to the school because of their weak financial condition.  One of the parents who make a living by making bamboo products said that she will get her daughter married soon as child marriage is their tradition. She further said, “The bride can stay at her parent’s till she comes to certain age. Older they are, more would be worries of their future and increase amount of dowry. Earnings from bamboo products are the only source of their livelihood. The parents are ready to send their kids to school if they get support. One said, “We will send our kids to school and stop child marriage if we get educational support for them.”

HimRights team felt strongly it has to stop and

ensure the rights of  these children. HimRights initiated HimRights Crisis Support Fund in which all HimRights staffs contributes the fund every month. With support from this Fund, these children are currently studying in Little Angels Boarding School, Kalaiya. We provided them with school fees, uniform, stationary and books.
