Education as a way out of poverty

The educational situation of poor families in Bangladesh is often devastating. Fathers are often absent, the mothers have to work to support the family. Many young children are then left to fend for themselves or are supervised by older siblings – which in turn severely impairs their chances of education.

This is why the PATRIZIA Foundation is building a Child Care Centre in Mymensingh, about 120 km north of the national capital Dhaka, which will provide quality education for 80 children from extremely poor families according to the educational concept “Essence of Learning”. While the children are well and safely looked after, the mothers can pursue their gainful employment with peace of mind.

Building the future together

In 1999, Wolfgang Egger founded the PATRIZIA Foundation with the aim of helping children worldwide find their way to a self-determined life. “True to the motto ‘Building the future together’, we are committed to this worldwide,
Helping children and young people lead better lives through education.”

In 1999, the PATRIZIA Foundation was established under the name PATRIZIA KinderHaus Stiftung. After more than 20 years and 20 PATRIZIA Kinderhaus Facilities later, the Foundation’s work is bearing fruit all over the world – in line with the Foundation’s motto “Building better futures”.

PATRIZIA Child Care Mymensingh

30 million children in Bangladesh live in poverty and have hardly any access to education. In Mymensingh, 115 kilometres north of the capital Dhaka, children and families also live in extremely difficult conditions: While mothers work, young children are left to fend for themselves.

Together with its local partner MATI Bangladesh, the PATRIZIA Foundation is implementing an innovative project with PATRIZIA Child Care Mymensingh, which offers 80 children between the ages of 1.5 and 6 not only care but also high-quality early childhood education – and thus shows the families a path to a better life.
