Khulna and Dhaka
Eid clothes for children
Before each Eid we register children from low-income families and buy each of them a new set of clothes in their size, so they can celebrate like everyone else.
Dhaka and Khulna, since 2014
To rise against odds
Paper Blues is a group of volunteers in Dhaka and Khulna. We bring new Eid clothes, flood relief and school supplies to children and families who would otherwise go without, and we look after injured street animals.
Registered with the Department of Social Services, Bangladesh, no. 3606
Who we are
Everything we do is done by volunteers, in person. We visit families first and write down what each child needs. Then we raise the money, pack the clothes or relief, and hand every pack over ourselves.
What we do
Riverbank villages
Flood relief
When floods cut villages off, we take food and essentials there by boat. Our relief bags carry three words: আমরা পাশে আছি, we are by your side.
Village primary schools
Support for village schools
We visit primary schools, register pupils together with their parents, and bring stationery, clothes and gifts for the children.
Hospitals
Hospital visits
We visit children who are in hospital, bringing new clothes, small gifts and a little company.
Dhaka and Khulna
Care for street animals
We arrange treatment for injured and sick street animals, look after them while they recover, and find them safe shelter.
