UKBET Transforming the futures of child workers through education and empowerment

The UK-Bangladesh Education Trust (UKBET) is a UK registered charity (no. 1027704) and a registered international NGO in Bangladesh. We train school teachers of English, run innovative education programmes for child workers and campaign for an end to child labour. Despite being against the law in Bangladesh the employment of children under-14 is still rife. Extreme poverty forces families to send

their children as young as six into work where 3.2m children are exploited, face abuse and are at risk of harm in return for very little pay. UKBET persuades employers to release working children for short, regular learning periods with specialist community teachers. Basic numeracy, literacy and essential life skills give them a foundation in education and, alongside working with their families, the aim is to support them out of work and into school or vocational training and brighter future opportunities.
