What happens when we don’t take action?

A Family’s Story of Hope and Transformation

Imagine living on less than $2 a day with a family of seven. That was the reality for Rahim and Amina, parents in rural Bangladesh. Struggling to make ends meet, they couldn’t afford school for their three children, and every day felt like a battle just to survive.

Then they discovered PSDI’s wraparound family services

Through our microcredit program, Rahim accessed the capital he needed to start a small business selling produce. At the same time, Amina enrolled their children in our early childhood education program, where they finally had the opportunity to learn and grow.

Today, Rahim’s business provides a steady income, and their children are thriving in school with dreams of brighter futures.

When we holistically invest in families, we create lasting change…

  • Parents gain financial independence to provide for their families today.
