Why Sponsor a Child in Bangladesh
There are millions of children around the globe who do not have what we had as children. If we are able, we should give back to the needy in order to give them a fair shot at life. Let us share one of our favorite stories:
The Starfish Story
A young man is walking along the ocean and sees a beach on which thousands and thousands of starfish have washed ashore. Further along he sees an old man, walking slowly and stooping often, picking up one starfish after another and tossing each one gently into the ocean.
Why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?
he asks.
Because the sun is up and the tide is going out and if I don’t throw them further in they will die.
But, old man, don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it! You can’t possibly save them all, you can’t even save one-tenth of them. In fact, even if you work all day, your efforts won’t make any difference at all.
The old man listened calmly and then bent down to pick up another starfish and threw it into the sea. It made a difference to that one.
Just like the starfish, our mission is to make a difference for a few children who deserve a chance. Our program is set up to help children who do not have guardians who can pay for their proper education, nutritious food and good clothing. For only $1 USD a day, children in Bangladesh can have all of that. Click here to find out how.
Testimonials of Shapla Foundation
Being a parent is very emotionally rewarding. When my child accomplishes a milestone, the feeling is indescribable and incomparable. If there is any feeling close to such, I would say it’s the feeling I get every time I open a letter from my child that I sponsor through Shapla Foundation. Dare I say, there are few things that are more rewarding than seeing the smile on these kid’s faces. Shapla Foundation has created an amazing and smooth process that allows its sponsors to monitor the breathtaking achievements of the kids.

I believe no one can help everyone, but everyone can help someone. Thanks to Shapla Foundation I have found the someone I feel proud to help. These kids are really the future and I’m content knowing that I’m doing my part to build a brighter future. Through the program we can really see that these kids try their best given their difficult circumstances; they have a willingness to grow themselves and all they need is a pat on the back from us.
