With the help of ENGIE Foundation, Friendship has been able to provide solar panels to the remotest char areas of Bangladesh, helping them light up their homes at night and even to be able to attend classes at school with lessons that were recorded in Dhaka.
Simple yet infinitely transformative, the presence of solar power for many here in the char region is easy to underappreciate. To bring light to the remotest corners, the construction of solar villages is being carried out even amidst this pandemic while maintaining proper safety measures.

At the beginning of the pandemic situation, Shahin found that Habibur Rahman, his neighbouring uncle was in a trouble. He could not harvest his paddy because all the labour was stuck at home. Shahin's lessons in school about empathy and compassion urged him to assist his neighbour. He volunteered to help gather the crop himself, and so Habibur became overwhelmingly happy with Shahin and kept him and Friendship school in his prayers.

“After all school-colleges were announced closed, I wondered how I will continue with studies. I thought that it will hamper our studies greatly. But because of Friendship, our facilitator is able to continue teaching us, while looking out for us when needed. The scepticism that we were in turned out to be disproven,” said Md. Shahin, a grade 10 student at Batikmari Friendship Secondary School.
He added, “We are getting educational support from our facilitator in three ways. We were divided into groups: a few of us go to sir's house to study maintaining health safety measures; sometimes sir comes to our house to teach and explain the lesson himself; and finally, he also teaches us over the phone. Not only are we able to continue our studies but we are also receiving health, hygiene and safety instructions from him.”

These children used to go to the same school, but since they are now closed, they have decided to go visit their teacher’s house instead, to brush up on their lessons in smaller groups and a more socially distanced environment
