A little help goes a long way:

    1. 10,000+ miles away   

   2. $1 is multiplied by almost 70 times in local currency. $20 is enough to support the educational cost of a student for a month

   3. A little help from Siemens Caring Hands will help Hridoya Bangladesh to take a big step in moving forward.

About Hridoya Bangladesh:

    1. Started in 2007. Hridoya Bangladesh provides monetary assistance to the financially challenged students of Bangladesh to continue their education. With a little support from all of us, the students can flourish their talents and eventually help their families to have better lives.

    2. So far supported 47 students (in 12 regions of Bangladesh, 15 female students) for 2 years by 83 contributors.

    3. Supported partial help to more than 60 students

    4. Every member in the team works on voluntary basis. Only overhead of this organization is the cost of transferring money. Our members in Bangladesh distribute the collected money to the students as well as monitor their academic progress.
