Overview
Education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and empowering communities. In Bangladesh, many still lack access to quality education due to challenges like poverty and limited resources. The SAWAB Foundation addresses these issues through innovative education programs that support formal schooling, non-formal learning, vocational training, and initiatives for street children.
