Currently we are working on children education, women empowerment and environment issues. The details are as follows:
Children education: We help our registered children whose family cannot afford sending their kids in schools. From the school stationaries to school tiffin, we provide A-Z educational expenses of our registered children. Although primary education is offered free to all by the gov
ernment of Bangladesh but some families still do not send their children to school. Instead, parents want their children will help them in their day to day work that will eventually generate money for the family expense. La Vie educates selected families to show the benefits of sending kids to school. Women empowerment : We identify most financially and socially vulnerable women in the local Bangladeshi communities who are neglected by their family members or societies. We provide sustainable financial solutions to those women by providing for example, swing machine or buy cows so they can produce their own product and sell into the local market. These selected sponsored women become empowered, honored and contribute to the local communities as well as they encourage women education and empowerment in particular. Environment: Recently La Vie started a forestation project in Barisal and Chandpur in Bangladesh. These two districts are most vulnerable as these districts experience natural calamities for example, Typhoon or hurricane every year. Through a public-private partnership (PPP), local students and women are planting thousands of trees and contributing towards saving environment. These trees can be sold out in 20-25 years while they will be replaced by new plants. La Vie Foundation invites you to get involved through the following ways:
Financially: You can donate us through cash, credit or debit card. Even you may donate your clothes or toys for the children. Intellectually: You are always welcome to give your thoughts, share your knowledge, expertize and ideas which will help us to run our day to day operations to make long-term decisions. Networking: You can tell your friends, relatives, and well-wishers about us. The referred people might feel interest on La Vie and may help us financially and or intellectually. Volunteering : Volunteer your time which will add value to others life. Students who are looking for a job and need work experience can be benefited through involving themselves with the various initiatives and activities of La Vie. Students can get the knowledge on administration, program or finance that they can utilize in their professional field. Senior citizens can get the peace of mind by helping local community people and educate the importance of healthy life. Donate school and household supplies:
