In Bangladesh, for every child who is lucky enough to live in a good home and receive a good education, there are three children who are doomed to live below the poverty line. As time goes by, Bangladesh is slowly losing its educated population, and the number of poor people who have no means to help themselves increases daily. Indeed, the lure of foreign education and better opportunities has proven to be irresistible to the younger population.

Korvi Rakshand was expected to take over the family business upon completing his education. To everyone's surprise, he chose a completely different path. In a time when competition is fierce, the pressure to succeed is stifling, and young people are inevitably coerced into previously made molds, he was adamant to ignore social pressures and instead try to change the world.

After years of watching the suffering of the impoverished population of Bangladesh, Korvi decided that he would use his education and his skills to bring about a change for the impoverished. He understood that, for most people, charitable acts are temporary and often unsustainable. Korvi was determined to bring betterment to the lives of these people in the long term. He realized that if he were to make a positive contribution to the development of his nation, he would have to come up with sustainable initiatives that could rebuild Bangladesh in an unprecedented manner. Korvi had some fellow University students and friends who shared the same views and values. Together they set off on a mission to combat poverty by creating an educated future generation.

Today, JAAGO Foundation is a well-known youth-based organization in Bangladesh which focuses mainly on battling illiteracy and malnutrition in children and on rehabilitating them to better environments and social conditions. JAAGO is currently focused on activities that provide long-term and sustainable benefits to children who are living below the poverty line.

JAAGO Foundation is not only looking to maintain its current success but is also looking to expand on a large scale in the near future. The organization currently operates three branches - in Rayer Bazar, Karail and Tongi. The research and development team is also working on initiating more development programs.

Furthermore, JAAGO Foundation has launched its Official Volunteer Wing, 'Volunteer for Bangladesh' in May 2011. This concern is dedicated towards harnessing and guiding the energy and potential of the young people of our country towards developing the society and the country for the better.

The long-term goal of JAAGO Foundation is to have a school in every district of Bangladesh with supporting projects to help the entire community. JAAGO wishes to see every child in Bangladesh receive quality education and the platform to a secure, prosperous future.
