Who We Are?
SPORSHO is the first organization in Bangladesh to have published Braille books for the visually challenged, focusing on entertainment and culture in 2008. Sporsho started this initiative to showcase the fact that every individual in a society wants to acquire knowledge beyond the text books. Nazia, the founder of Sporsho believes that a sustainable society can be built only when people are empowered with knowledge with an inclusive approach, by reaching out to all, including the ones who are physically challenged. Their slogan, “Manush drishtihin bole ondho noe manush muloto proggahin bolei ondho”, which in English would read, “people are blind not because they are unable to see with their eyes but are blind because they do not have the knowledge to visualize life from within.” (Activities are present in the face book page ‘Sporsho Braille Prokashona’).

Our Achievement
By the grace of Almighty ALLAH, Sporsho Foundation’s new project; “JYOTI”, an educational program for girls with special needs, has started in collaboration with ‘SYED BADRUDDOJA CHARITABLE TRUST’. InshALLAH, we hope to expand this project in near future.
These fantastic girls know how to find light in a dark pathway. We only need to come forward to give them more love and more strength, so they don’t stop dreaming about their goals. Please, join hands in order to support these super girls. Even a trivial contribution can make a significant difference. Our heartiest congratulations to the super girls, and a big thanks to SYED BADRUDDOJA CHARITABLE TRUST, for keeping their trust firm in Sporsho Braille Foundation. Friends who are interested in being a part of the project, please, knock us!
Health Camp Program
It was in the month of June,2022 that Sunamganj and the “haor” areas of Sylhet was hit with one of the worst floods in its history with millions of people suddenly becoming homeless and helpless. Immediately, Sporsho Foundation extended its support by providing food items to the flood affected people in the “haor” areas of Jointiapur. This included drinking water, rice, lentils, snacks, vegetables etc.
As soon as the water-level lowered, Sporsho Foundation arranged day-long health camps for the people in Jointiapur and Chiknagul Area and provided free health check-ups and medicines. Almost 2000 people (from all age groups) were provided with free medicines, saline, pure drinking water, hand wash, soap, sanitary napkins and food items during this health-care drive. We arranged a safe zone for the affected children with recreation facilities and fun activities to help them come out of any trauma that they may have faced during this difficult time.
Medicines and hygiene products were also distributed in Sunamganj, Sylhet Sadar, Tilagarh areas. It is worth mentioning that Sposho took an inclusive/integrated approach and also involved the local police, students, teachers, local government officials to reach out to maximum people in the areas.Currently, Sporsho is taking steps to rehabilitate the flood flood affected people and help them to build back their homes which they lost during this horrible flood.
We also plan to conduct an eye camp where surgical intervention (if needed) will also be provided along with diagnisis and medication.We look forward to getting your support so that we can spread love and work to reach out to more people in need! Thanks!
