Education is a privilege not all of us have

Education is an essential human right. When it comes to underprivileged orphan children, we have so much to do. Together we can bring this dream of educating Bangladesh to life. NORR provides quality education fully free of cost to orphans get the education they deserve.

And Skills are Paramount

“Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime” – Lao Tzu

To be truly independent, is to have a skillset. Having skills are just as important as having an education.

Here at NORR we help ensure orphans and widows learn the essential skills to become independent.

Children at NORR are raised as future leaders. We believe that if you educate children well, they become assets to the nation in the future. Join us and skill up those in need.
