“I love you,” said a little girl, tugging at my shoulder and looking closely into my eyes.” Meet the children and families whose lives are being touched by Thrive in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Since Thrive began supporting these schools, children no longer have to learn on an empty stomach. Every meal helps them focus, grow, and dream bigger.
From Priscilla, Co-founder of Thrive: “When I was visiting the schools, this little girl, I don’t know, she’s probably 7 or so, tugged at my shoulder, and she looked so closely in my eyes and she said, ‘Mam, I love you.’ And I wanted to extend that to all of you because she loves all of you for what you’re doing for these families—for the children.”
From Amna Rahman, Co-Vice President, Chair of Bangladesh Trust: “Thank you for being with us today, your presence means a lot to us. Thrive began with a powerful and simple idea: no child should have to learn on an empty stomach.”
From Rubina Karim, GLP Board Member: “I am amazed by how we get the food delivered by Mishal’s Direct Fresh and it’s amazing, truly. Remember that without Thrive’s food, our students would not be able to learn, they couldn’t grow, they can’t dream, but with food, they thrive.”
From Mishal Karim, Senior Advisor, Thrive and Chairman of Direct Fresh and Space Dawg: “What I thought, I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be part of this. This year’s gonna be slightly different, I’m going to give these ladies an award, because for letting me be a part of this Thrive family.”
Your gift to Thrive is always more than just a meal—help children in Dhaka thrive today!
