The Jamyang Foundation, founded in 1988, supports innovative education projects for Indigenous girls and women in two of the neediest and most remote parts of the world: the Indian Himalayas and the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh. For several years, BGR has sponsored Jamyang’s School Lunches for Marma Girls project in Bangladesh, feeding students at Visakha Girls’ School, which serves disadvantaged girls from the remote village of Dhosri and surrounding villages.
In addition to the school lunch project, BGR has supported the school in building new classrooms to accommodate students up to eighth grade, installing a solar power system, and improving internet access for students and staff. Additional funding will allow the school to continue to meet the needs of the larger student body and offer aid to girls who pursue secondary education.
