The Bellwoven foundation was created in 2010 with the sole aim of giving children in Bangladesh the opportunity to benefit from a high class education system
Oliver Brabender, the founder of the foundation felt it was vital that we gave something back to the Bangladesh community that has made Bellwoven feel at home from day one.
The Bellwoven Foundation is committed to expanding access to education for underprivileged children across Bangladesh. Working closely with local schools, the Foundation provides scholarships and financial support, helping children pursue their education regardless of financial circumstances.
Guided by the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to learn and succeed, its mission is: “Helping Children to a Brighter Future.”
The Foundation has been an overwhelming success where our scholarships increase on an annual basis and more recently the Foundation has started an after school lesson project for street children supported by teachers from the surrounding schools and this is attracting hundreds of children who would normally not have any chance for any education.
The Foundation provides all the books and stationary for every pupil and uniforms for all the children so that they feel as important as each other and in turn contribute to the success of the Foundation.
Our first scholarships have now reached university level and the primary education offered to children extends now to over 400 children. The Foundation invested in a Computer Laboratory in the supporting schools where the children have access to the latest computer equipment and the Internet. These projects are fully supported by the Foundation and have proven to be a massive success in the promotion of education for the children.
In 2014, it was decided to celebrate the success of the Foundation by organising a T20 Cricket Tournament. This was a huge success and 20 schools from around Dhaka participated in the event where the final was attended by over 2000 supporters! This winners and runners up all were offered a full year scholarship.
Its founder, Oliver Brabender and the Trustees are determined to continue to drive this vision and dream that every child has the right for an education and every year the Foundation invests more to make this vision and dream come true.
