Success Story Spotlight: Merina Rashid
Merina Rashid was one of our society's underprivileged girls. Since her father died when she was eight years old, Dustho Meyeder Nirapad Ashram o Punorbashan Kendro (DMNAPK) located in Gazipur stood by her as her family's financial condition deteriorated. She found asylum at DMNAPK and attended classes there from elementary to higher secondary school. She learnt computer for free in her struggling life after setting up a Computer Literacy Center (CLC) from Computer Literacy Program (CLP) at DMNAPK in 2017.
