Current & Future Programs
Current: Child Sponsorship Program (CSP)
We are conscious about our limitations in terms of resources and time. Child Sponsorship Program is a charitable effort by donors aimed at providing food, clothing, education, tuition, books and medical care to the needy children through the 3rd to the 12th grade. Willing donors sponsors a child in Bangladesh thus becoming a sponsor. The sponsor’s yearly donation of $178.00 (USA), GBP £ 125.00 (UK), CAD $279.00 (Canada) is utilized to support each of sponsored children through ten years of his/her education.
The Optimists has undertaken and implementing its Child Sponsorship Program in the districts of Sylhet, Moulvibazar, Habiganj, Rangpur and NaryanGanj. It has already sponsored 350+ children. Within the first half of 2010 we intend to start operating in fifteen more districts. To know details about the ongoing projects please call or email us for a copy of our latest annual report. You will find more information about our project activities, sponsors and the sponsored children, volunteers, district committees, financial reports etc in the annual reports.
