The Review appreciated that DRRA as an organisation has all required legal registrations to be a strategic
partner of LF Network. It falls under surveillance of both the NGO Affairs Bureau as well as the
Microcredit Registration Authority. Both governmental bodies do impose stringent regulations, which are
precisely implemented. Under the Social Welfare Act, DRRA is obliged to follow their actual
organisational structure with a General Body, Executive Committee and Executive Director.

Stories of Change
Self-confident Shamima wants to be an engineer
One of the successes of Shamima’s life is to obtain Grade 4.94 out of 5 in the Junior School Certificate (JSC) examination in 2013. This
result will inspire her as well as her family to continue further education. When she started to go to school, neighbors and relatives
commented very negatively. But her parents defied the social barriers and continued her study. Gradually neighbors and relatives have
changed their negative attitude towards Shamima. Classmates and teachers are also helpful to her.
Shamima was born in 1999. At the beginning of her childhood her parents understood that she has Cerebral Palsy. Her father Chan Mia is a
farmer and only earning member of family. He could not afford take Shamima to doctor. She lives with her parents in a poor village called
Jadobpur at Dhamrai Upazilla, Dhaka. Shamima has two sisters and one brother. Among them she is the youngest. Her only brother is also
physically disabled.
Shahjahan, member of one of our self-help group told us about Shamima. A community worker of Access Bangladesh visited her family
and collected information. We decided to support her through SLF supported program. Now Shamima studies in class 9 at Jadobpur B.M.
High School, half a kilometer distance from her house. She goes to school regularly with the support of her mother and father in spite of her
difficulties in movement.
Access Bangladesh supports a portion of her tutor fees and educational materials. She goes to school in a wheelchair. Her mother push the
wheelchair to take her to school every day. In the year 2011 when her wheel chair was broken, Access Bangladesh gave her a new
wheelchair.
SLF support has brought her happiness and open up avenues of education. Her mother and father love her very much. Her neighbors love
her also. She would like to be an engineer in future.
