Story Al-Amin

Al-Amin (10) has cerebral palsy and lives in the village of Charmotto in Zaigur union. It takes several hours by car to get to good healthcare. He was born prematurely and developed jaundice right after he was born.

He also developed epilepsy. When his parents noticed that Al-Amin was not developing like their daughter, they visited several quacks, but to no avail. The parents could not afford to visit a real doctor. They are extremely poor. His father hauls bricks for construction, working an average of 6 months a year, and his mother is a housewife and mainly takes care of Al-Amin. Both parents have no education and at first did not know what to do with Al-Amin. Through word of mouth they heard about Niketan’s early intervention program. Al-Amin was 4 years old and could not yet sit independently. Now more than 6 years later, Al-Amin can walk with the help of a walker and attends the care-education group. He enjoys coming and playing with his friends with blocks and cars. His mother got the opportunity to work for BanglaMa and attended family development training with her husband in 2024. Thanks to the training and the financial support they received, the family was able to buy ducks, whose eggs they now sell at the market. The family has high hopes for a more carefree future.
