Transparent donation tracking
We have created a system that allows sponsors to see how their donations are used for the child they support. For this level of transparency, donors feel confident.
A Simple Act of Kindness Can Change a Life!
About Shapla Foundation
Every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and dream. At Shapla Foundation, we work to make that possible for underprivileged children across Bangladesh. We are a non-governmental and non-religious charitable foundation based in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Our purpose is simple. We help children receive the education, care, and encouragement they need to build a better future. Through our child sponsorship program, generous donors from around the world can directly support a child's education while following their progress. Every contribution creates new opportunities and gives children the confidence to reach their goals.
Sponsor A Child
Who We Are
Shapla Foundation believes education is one of the strongest ways to reduce poverty and create lasting change. Many children in Bangladesh have the ability to succeed but lack the financial support to stay in school.
Our foundation connects caring sponsors with children who need help the most. We work closely with local communities to provide educational support, school supplies, health assistance, and personal development opportunities. Every child has a unique story. Every sponsor becomes part of that journey.
Why We Started
Shapla Foundation was created with one goal in mind. To give children from low-income families the opportunity to receive a quality education and build a better future. Many families struggle to afford school fees, books, uniforms, and other daily educational needs.
Without support, talented children often lose the opportunity to continue learning. We wanted to change that. By bringing together compassionate people from around the world, we help children stay in school, develop new skills, and prepare for a brighter tomorrow.
Our Mission
Our mission is to improve the lives of underprivileged children in Bangladesh by providing access to education, personal development, and essential support through a transparent child sponsorship program. We work to remove financial barriers that prevent children from attending school.
Our foundation members also encourage them to build the knowledge, confidence, and skills needed for a brighter future. Every program we organize is guided by compassion, accountability, and a commitment to creating lasting opportunities for every child we serve.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a Bangladesh where every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and reach their full potential, regardless of their financial background. We strive to build stronger communities by making education more accessible and inspiring children to pursue their dreams with confidence. Through the continued support of our donors, volunteers, and partners, we hope to create lasting change that benefits future generations.
What Makes Shapla Foundation Different
Many charitable organizations work to improve children's lives. We share the same purpose, but our approach gives sponsors a closer connection to their impact.
Personal connection
Shapla Foundation gives sponsors the opportunity to know the child they are supporting. Each sponsored child has a personal profile where sponsors can learn about their background, interests, and life journey.
Follow every milestone
Sponsors can monitor their sponsored child's progress through regular profile updates. Weekly updates, photos, and stories allow donors to celebrate achievements and stay connected as the child continues to learn and grow.
Stay connected from anywhere
Our sponsorship program encourages meaningful communication. Sponsors can connect with their sponsored child through virtual meeting sessions and, when visiting Bangladesh, may have the opportunity to meet them in person.
How We Create Lasting Change
Education is only the beginning. Our programs encourage children to develop confidence, creativity, communication skills, and practical knowledge that support long-term growth.
We also organize educational activities, workshops, and community programs that help children gain valuable life experiences while continuing their studies. Each child who receives support becomes one step closer to creating a better future for themselves, their family, and their community.
Our Core Values
Everything we do is guided by a strong set of values that shape our decisions, strengthen our relationships, and support our mission to help underprivileged children through education. These principles inspire our team, volunteers, and supporters to work together toward creating lasting opportunities for children across Bangladesh.

Contact UsTestimonials of Shapla Foundation
Being a parent is very emotionally rewarding. When my child accomplishes a milestone, the feeling is indescribable and incomparable. If there is any feeling close to such, I would say it’s the feeling I get every time I open a letter from my child that I sponsor through Shapla Foundation. Dare I say, there are few things that are more rewarding than seeing the smile on these kid’s faces. Shapla Foundation has created an amazing and smooth process that allows its sponsors to monitor the breathtaking achievements of the kids.

I believe no one can help everyone, but everyone can help someone. Thanks to Shapla Foundation I have found the someone I feel proud to help. These kids are really the future and I’m content knowing that I’m doing my part to build a brighter future. Through the program we can really see that these kids try their best given their difficult circumstances; they have a willingness to grow themselves and all they need is a pat on the back from us.
