For Kids' Sake is a fundraising project, which supports orphanages and schools of the Dayemi Tariqat in Bangladesh. In a land plagued by disease, natural disasters, overpopulation and a literacy rate of less than 32% for women and 54% for men, living standards are disastrously low for Bangladesh's orphans.

Your contributions change the lives of so many children in Bangladesh. I know this first-hand as, in 2005, I had the opportunity to visit the orphanages and schools that we support. What struck me the most was the sparkle in the orphans' eyes. Here was a group of kids with little or no family, and they were happy, healthy and full of life. It was proof that anything can blossom in a loving and secure environment.

You may make a financial donation to For Kids' Sake by check or money order. In-kind contributions are also gratefully accepted. However you choose to give, thank you for your kind support.

Currently 6 main facilities house, educate and care for over 450 orphan boys. In addition, a new girls' dormitory at the Ibrahimpur project currently houses 22 young women, ages 16-18, who attend school. Over 3,000 girls and boys from surrounding villages attend all the For kids' Sake schools. Dayemi Schools are certified and staffed by local teachers who guide the students from pre-school through high school.

The schools seek to develop individuals who are economically and socially self-reliant. Every student receives extensive training through a broad academic, vocational and spiritual curriculum.

In line with the goal of self-reliance, the facilities are supported by a number of locally staffed agricultural and commercial projects. These include fish farming, food and fruit cultivation, irrigation services, a ferryboat service and market stall rentals.
