Alim | Age 11

When Education Reaches a Child, Hope Begins – Meet Alim | Age 11

Alim had never been to school. No documents, no books, and no idea what a classroom felt like. When he came to Naya Sawera, he barely spoke, but he watched, listened, and slowly began to believe.

One day, during an English class, he wrote his name for the first time. Everything changed. Today, he reads, writes, uses a computer, and dreams of joining the Indian Army — to serve the country with pride and courage.

“When someone believed in me, I started believing in myself.” — Alim
