Beyond our weekly Child Impact Program, we are committed to creating lasting generational impact by equipping and empowering families through Bayit243 programs, educational opportunities, nutrition and hygiene programs, and small livelihood projects. These initiatives are designed to break the cycle of poverty and equip children and families for a brighter future.
One of the cornerstones of our approach is the DIP Program, a child and youth initiative that blends entertaining and engaging educational programming with hands-on training and activities. This program allows children to experience new opportunities without leaving their local communities, offering practical skills that help them succeed.
For many children in our programs, education is their only path to a better life. Most of these children come from low-income families in cramped slums, where poverty and family instability are common. Many of their fathers have multiple marriages and large families, leading to financial, emotional, and physical hardship. Despite the availability of free primary school education, the extreme poverty these families face makes it impossible to continue schooling. Children are often forced to work to support their families, and without education, they are trapped in a cycle of poverty.
This is where our DIP Program (which means “Light” in Bengali) steps in to make a difference. Through DIP, we help children return to formal schooling by providing school supplies, covering fees, and offering adolescent hygiene items. We bring meritorious students to our tutorial center, offering them free academic support that enables them to re-enter mainstream education.
