Ten Years of Friendship, Thousands of Smiles: MBM Group’s Journey with JAAGO Foundation
An enduring friend is a constant presence whose long-term commitment and belief in a shared mission provide a vital foundation for growth. The unwavering support of such a friend empowers an organization to overcome challenges and expand its impact, ensuring the continuity to evolve and serve the community for years to come.
MBM Group is far more than a partner; they are a cherished friend whose presence has been woven into the very fabric of JAAGO Foundation for over a decade. Ours is a journey defined not just by years, but by a shared heartbeat—a deep-rooted trust and a collective vision that turns the dream of a resilient future into a living reality.
A Decade of Unwavering Partnership
Through thick and thin, MBM Group has been an integral part of JAAGO Foundation since 2015. More than just a partner, they have supported our mission in countless ways, from providing educational essentials to developing vital WASH infrastructure within our schools and beyond. Yet, their most significant and enduring contribution remains their role as a "guardian angel" to the children we serve, ensuring that every underprivileged student is empowered with the dignity of a school uniform.
For underprivileged students, a school uniform is more than a piece of cloth or dress; it is a suit of armor that provides self-worth. It erases social barriers, fostering a sense of belonging and the confidence to dream.
Ten Years of Impact: By the Numbers
For 10 years, MBM Group has been an unwavering pillar of support for JAAGO Foundation, providing school uniforms every single year without fail. What began in 2015 with 1524 students across our 11 branches has blossomed alongside our growth. As we expanded in student number, MBM Group stepped up every year to meet the need, culminating this year in uniforms for all 4,364 students in our uniform-wearing grades.
Throughout this journey, MBM Group has provided a staggering 40,192 uniforms. This enduring commitment has empowered nearly 6,000 unique students to walk with pride and self-worth, ensuring that for over a decade, no child's dreams were hindered by the lack of a uniform.
Student Voices: The Uniform's Transformative Power
"Every year, my new uniform makes me feel brave and ready to learn."— Yousul Ali, 4th grader, JAAGO Foundation Teknaf school
"This uniform is my identity as a student. It gives me the confidence to stand tall and chase my goals."— Afia Sultana, 8th Grader, JAAGO Foundation Madaripur school
These heartfelt words from Yousul and Afia remind us that a uniform is far more than a simple garment; it is a profound symbol of possibility that bridges the gap between a child's current circumstances and their highest aspirations. By providing this consistent sense of belonging, MBM Group ensures that every student stands on equal footing, empowered to walk the halls of our schools with the dignity they deserve.
A Shared Vision for the Future
Our deepest gratitude goes to MBM Group for being the silent strength behind these smiles for the last 10 years. Their commitment is a testament to the power of enduring friendship—one that transforms lives one stitch at a time.
As we look toward the horizon, we hold a shared hope that this beautiful journey continues to flourish. Together, we remain dedicated to nurturing the potential of these young minds, ensuring that every child has the "armor" they need to conquer the future and build a better world.
