We Can Solve
Educational
Inequity

In Bangladesh—and around the world—children are fighting for their chance to succeed in life. Their opportunity to succeed personally, academically, and professionally is limited by the socio-economic condition of their families. Millions of children in Bangladesh are denied high-quality education as a result of an inequitable system.

Since 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has deepened challenges for our education system, keeping schools closed for 18 months. During this time, most children were disconnected from learning opportunities. Addressing learning loss, dropouts, and children’s socio-emotional well-being are among some of the most complex challenges facing educators and leaders today. The growing crisis in education—and the opportunity to make a difference—is now bigger than ever. Together with our partners, Teach For Bangladesh (TFB) is working to ensure that children across Bangladesh can access high-quality education and unlock their potential.

Ways to Partner
with Us

Investing directly in our Fellowship program with an unrestricted gift empowers TFB Fellows to drive whole child development in underserved communities across Bangladesh. TFB Fellows work as full-time, skilled teachers, collaborating with head teachers, parents, and the broader community to support student learning and well-being, directly impacting children with the least resources. The program works to build Fellows’ leadership capacity, enabling them to catalyze long-term change in education in Bangladesh as Alumni.

TFB’s sponsorship schemes enable individuals, foundations, and corporate partners to create deep local impact by supporting one or more Fellows and a designated number of classrooms and schools in one or more regions. Please contact our Development team below to learn more about sponsoring Fellows and schools.

Our employee engagement partnerships enable partner employees to engage directly with students, schools, Fellows, and communities. Employees can volunteer in schools and communities, co-lead classes, workshops, and field trips with Fellows and students, run donation drives, distribute learning materials to children in need, build school infrastructure, and mentor TFB Fellows and Alumni.

We recruit high-achieving graduates from Bangladesh’s top universities and through our two-year program, develop their leadership, communication, and collaboration skills. Talent Partnerships give employers looking to hire talented and highly motivated individuals special access to our growing TFB alumni pool. Partners can participate at our hiring fairs, offer fast-tracked interviews and internships to Fellows and Alumni, and share their job opportunities in our Alumni email blasts.
