School on a Boat
The upstream areas of the Meghna River house wetland habitats, including rivers, streams, and seasonally flooded cultivated plains, in addition to wetlands of static water. This makes transportation challenging – flooding roads and paths makes access to essentials such as health facilities, schools, and markets difficult.
During the monsoon season, children find themselves unable to attend school due to these challenges in geography and the negative consequences of extreme weather. Flash floods frequently cause loss and damage to the area’s housing and personal property, which perpetuates the cycle of poverty. Too often, children are forced to drop out of school and work to earn money for their families.
The solution is simple: invest in the innovative “School on a Boat” project.
The school acts as a valuable combination of a school bus and a classroom. It collects children from hard-to-reach wetland areas, and onboard classes are held when it docks at the last destination. With this access, children who would otherwise be unable to attend school now receive a quality education in a safe and effective environment.

Education
Most experts agree that education is the most effective way to take millions of people out of poverty. High-quality education results in decent economic growth, creating a knock-on effect for making HADI’s goal (alleviating poverty) much more achievable. This is, in part, because it also identifies and addresses many of the other issues that keep communities vulnerable.
