Mojar School — KFC Shopner Pathshala: A Lifeline for Street Children of Bangladesh 2025
Mojar School — KFC Shopner Pathshala: A Lifeline for Street Children of Bangladesh 2025
By the end of February 2025, Mojar School will have achieved a significant milestone: 2 years and 3 months of collaboration with KFC Bangladesh.
What have we accomplished during this time?
We turned the impossible into possible.
In just 2 years and 3 months, we reached 45,000 street children every early morning across 8 locations — 7 in Dhaka and 1 in Cox’s Bazar. At these branches, we provided:
- Education
- Educational Materials
- Nutritious meals
- New Eid Dress
- Winter Cloth
- Hygiene and bathing spaces
- Washroom facilities
- Well-decorated, welcoming spaces
And the most priceless gift of all: tons of love and care, which, after meeting their basic needs, is the most valuable thing every street child deserves.
Imagine this: A child who spends the night on the street — hungry, broken, both physically and mentally, and sometimes struggling with addiction. Each morning, Mojar School’s warriors step forward, taking responsibility for their well-being. We refresh their minds, offer them comfort, and provide everything they need — no matter the season, whether it’s rainy, cold, or unbearably hot.
These classes take place at KFC branches from 8 AM to 10 AM, three days a week for each location, following a routine.
This collaboration is a remarkable achievement for Mojar School — something we dreamed of since 2013 but started 2022. While we have both formal and non-formal schools across the country for vulnerable street children, this partnership with KFC Bangladesh stands out as one of our most impactful initiatives.
What we’ve achieved through this collaboration would not have been possible without the support of a true leader, Amit Thapa Sir.
Amit Thapa Sir, your belief in creating impact and addressing root causes has inspired us. Over the past 3 years, your professional work in the corporate world has been a guiding light for me in the development sector. You’ve shown me how work should be carried out with dedication, monitored effectively, and made impactful.
I respect you, I admire you, and I follow your leadership style.
One day, the children you’ve supported will look back and feel blessed for the opportunities you’ve given them. From the streets to their professional lives, the journey may take time, but it will happen.
Since its inception, Mojar School — KFC Shopner Pathshala — a collaboration between Mojar School and KFC Bangladesh — has been a transformative initiative designed to uplift the lives of street children across Bangladesh. Over the last 2 years and 3 months, this program has reached an impressive 65,000 street children, offering them hope, support, and opportunities for a brighter future.
What Does Mojar School — KFC Shopner Pathshala Provide?
- Education
Children living on the streets rarely have access to formal education. Shopner Pathshala bridges this gap by offering foundational education and life skills, helping children prepare for a better future. - Nutritious Meals
Malnutrition is a severe issue for street children. Each session begins with meals provided free of cost, ensuring children are fed and healthy. - Hygiene and Sanitation
Hygiene is a basic necessity often unavailable to these children. At KFC branches, Shopner Pathshala offers:
- Bathing facilities
- Clean washrooms
- Hygiene products
- A Safe and Welcoming Space
The classes are held in early morning sessions at KFC branches (8 AM–10 AM, 3 days a week), offering children a clean, well-decorated environment that makes them feel valued and respected. - Love and Care
Beyond tangible support, what truly sets this initiative apart is the emotional warmth and care provided by Mojar School’s team. Many of these children have experienced trauma, neglect, or abuse, and the love they receive at Shopner Pathshala becomes their first step towards healing and self-confidence.
The Impact
- Breaking the Cycle of Neglect
Many street children wake up each morning hungry, tired, and broken — physically and mentally. Some are victims of substance abuse or exploitation. Shopner Pathshala steps in to break this cycle by addressing their immediate needs and offering them opportunities to dream of a better future. - Consistent Support Across All Seasons
Rain, winter, or scorching heat — Shopner Pathshala continues its mission without pause, ensuring no child is left behind. - Rehabilitation and Hope
For many children, this program is their first step towards reintegration into society. With education, basic needs met, and emotional support, they begin to see a path out of their struggles. - Long-Term Vision
The initiative’s ultimate goal is to prepare these children to enter professional lives, transforming them from being victims of circumstances into empowered contributors to society.
