Let’s revisit her journey, where compassion meets determination, and celebrate the true meaning of Beauty with Purpose. 💖
Hello everyone, my name is Shami Islam Nila and this is my Beauty with a Purpose project. Bangladesh has the second largest economy in South Asia, yet we cannot ignore the fact that many people live in hardship. In many cities, countless families, including adolescents and toddlers, spend their days begging. Shockingly, about 17% beggars in Dhaka are children under 12. Project Smile Blossom, a project aiming to tackle all these issues at its root. My plan involves launching campaigns in all 64 districts of Bangladesh, starting with the beautiful Silat district. Here we have focused on promoting child education among children in tea garden area, donating books and conducting fundraising to train parents in skills for financial solvency. Next, I turned my attention to the street children of Dhaka. Meeting an 11-year-old boy named Saleem, who begs instead of studying, was particularly heart-wrenching. This led me to work first with mothers who lack financial aid. However, this is just the beginning. I plan to extend this awareness and action to every corner of Bangladesh.
