Our History
Building a Better Tomorrow, Together...
Established in 2016, Zoom Bangladesh is a registered non-profit organization under the Ministry of Social Welfare, Government of Bangladesh. We are a youth-driven foundation committed to transforming lives by working with street children and underserved communities. Our mission is to ensure access to education, healthcare, nutrition, and social awareness for those who need it most. Beyond schooling, we run various humanitarian and social development programs that promote dignity, opportunity, and empowerment.
Over the years, Zoom Bangladesh has become a trusted name in community service, driven by passionate volunteers who believe in sustainable, long-term change.
Journey of 2016 to 2025
In just nine(9) years, from 2016 to 2025, Zoom Bangladesh School has helped over 1,550 marginalized street children gain literacy. The journey began with a small group of 13 children in Segunbagicha, one of Dhaka’s busiest neighborhoods. Initially, the program focused on engaging street children who wandered the area, and volunteer teachers would gather the kids on the roadside, conducting classes on banners laid out on the ground. Despite the challenges of teaching outdoors, the number of both students and volunteers gradually grew, expanding Zoom Bangladesh School’s reach and impact.
Zoom Bangladesh's scope of work has expanded over time...
After Segunbagicha, the school opened a second branch in Palashi with support from young people at Dhaka University, who shared a commitment to providing free education and fulfilling the basic rights of street children. The children’s eagerness to learn was remarkable, with many walking from distant places like Gulistan and the High Court area just to attend classes. In response, Zoom Bangladesh School opened additional branches in these locations, meeting the rising demand for education among street children. Over time, recognizing the need for structured educational spaces, Zoom Bangladesh established formal academic schools in areas like Hatirjheel and beyond Dhaka.
Zoom Bangladesh School now runs 9 branches, evolving from open-air classes to structured academic buildings. Along with literacy, the school focuses on life skills, moral values, and creative development. Lessons are simple and engaging, with an emphasis on quality education, cultural growth, and critical thinking—preparing students to contribute meaningfully to society.
To keep students connected in the digital era, Zoom Bangladesh offers computer and science education. Weekly activities like dance, singing, and “Fun Science” nurture creativity. While academic branches follow the national curriculum, open schools focus on basic literacy and moral values. Over the past five years, literacy rates among students have steadily improved.

Zoom Bangladesh “a new hope for underprivileged child”
Zoom Bangladesh began in 2016 with just 13 underprivileged children under the open sky in Segunbagicha. Children learned letters, enjoyed regular sports, and received daily meals. As the number grew, a second open-air branch was launched in December 2016 at Shahid Matiur Rahman Park, Gulistan.
The High Court Branch, Zoom Bangladesh’s third (Open) school, began in June 2017. It focused on literacy, behavior, and awareness education for underprivileged children. That year, Zoom Bangladesh also celebrated “Friendship Day” for the first time in Bangladesh with 300 street children and began observing national days with them as well.
In 2018, Zoom Bangladesh introduced structured academic branches in Hatirjheel, Segunbagicha, and Gaibandha to ensure a consistent education system. These schools follow the official curriculum under the guidance of local education officers. By the end of 2018, the number of academic schools had grown to four.
In early 2019, Zoom Bangladesh expanded its activities beyond teaching street children by launching volunteer-led community programs such as blood donation, tree plantation, cleanliness drives, and youth leadership development.
2020 was a milestone year for Zoom Bangladesh. The foundation received official registration from the Bangladesh government and partnered with the Joyita Foundation to support helpless women through a nursery project.

The organization also began funding higher education for students who completed 5th grade, covering their admission and tuition fees.
The number of students in both academic and open schools has grown to around 550.
A digital computer lab was established to promote IT education, and students are now receiving additional training in drawing, crafting, and cultural activities alongside their regular studies.
In 2023, Zoom Bangladesh focused on expanding the “Sponsor a Child” program to ensure students’ education.
The "Sehri and Iftar for Helpless People" initiative served around 500 people daily during Ramadan via the Zoom Live Kitchen.
Through the "Paribortan" project, 47 more families became self-reliant in 2023—bringing the total to 205 families supported through zakat.
