The Big Ten Challenge

Over the past few months, the Restless Beings Dhaka team (Bangladesh), have been viewing and assessing various locations for where we can develop our proposed rehab centre. We are now delighted to be in the position to announce that we have found a suitable building for our centre and it is based in the area of Mohammadpur, Dhaka

We aim to do amongst other things:

• The safety of having a roof over their head and a place they can rest at night.

• Three square meals per day to rid the child of malnutrition.

• Full medical care and assistance to ensure the child is immunised against major diseases.

• Psychological counselling to ensure that any sensitive issues or abuse cases are handled and help the child to overcome their ordeals (including
self harm and substance misuse as well as physical and sexual abuse).

• A manageable education, where the child is taught according to their capabilities.

• An array of life skills lessons which will empower the child with real vocational ability that they can use. As an organisation we believe in a holistic
approach to developing these young people, and the key here is to encourage autonomy and confidence.

• Creative Nourishment & Growth: A programme which involves the development of key skills and talents of each child to promote creative growth
which may open the doors to opportunities which these children would not normally have. Our plans have been costed at a figure of 13 lakh taka, which is just shy of £10,000.

We are in a position where we can accept donations with 100% of your donation going towards the project. Restless Beings operates on zero administration costs. We do not believe in holding money in our accounts here in the UK and so your money will go directly to the project and the renovation of this rehab centre.
