Dear Compassionate Soul,

At the end of our lives, we all wish to leave something behind — A legacy of love, a trace of kindness, or a deed that brings light to someone else's darkness.

The life of a child born into extreme poverty and burdened with autism is one of silent suffering. Many of us don’t know their pain. Some of us know — yet choose to look away. These children become victims of neglect, poverty, and society’s ignorance. Some remain imprisoned within the four walls of a home. Others are forced to beg on the streets.

While many individuals and organizations extend help by providing food and education to the poor,
very few works tirelessly for autistic children. Supporting them is not only emotionally demanding — it is financially overwhelming.

In Bangladesh, Alokito Poth has been the only organization for the past seven years offering free treatment, education, and food assistance to the autistic children from the poorest families.

🔹 Our Ongoing Programs: 🔹

✅ Free Long-Term Medical Treatment
Autistic children require long-term, intensive therapeutic care. It may take 1 to 3 years of daily therapy to help a child return to a functional, healthy life. While commercial centers charge BDT 40,000–50,000 per month for this service,
we provide it completely free of cost.
🔸 Currently treating: 52 children
🔸 On the waiting list: 128 children

✅ Free Special Education (Schooling)
While one teacher can teach 52 neurotypical children at once, in special education, one teacher is ideally assigned to just 4 autistic children. Due to financial limitations, we provide special education to 8 children per teacher.
🔸 Currently enrolled: 32 special children

✅ Monthly Food Support for Families
Each month we support 71 extremely poor families with the following essential items:
Rice – 30 kg, Flour – 10 kg, Soybean Oil – 5 liters, Lentils – 3 kg,Potatoes – 15 kg, Onions – 5 kg,Salt – 1 kg, Sugar – 3 kg, Biscuits – 2 packets, Powdered Milk – 800 grams. 

✅ Parent Awareness & Training
Every month, over 100 parents receive training to better understand their children, give proper care, and confidently face the battle of life.
