While access to schools and books is essential, one often overlooked pillar of education is mentorship. For many underprivileged children, navigating school life can feel overwhelming — especially when they lack role models or guidance at home. This is where mentorship programs play a transformative role.

A good mentor provides not only academic support but also emotional encouragement. They help children set goals, build confidence, and believe in their own potential. Mentors guide students through challenges, celebrate their progress, and remind them that they are not alone on their journey.

Research shows that children who receive mentorship are more likely to stay in school, perform better academically, and develop positive life skills. It’s not just about grades — it’s about nurturing resilience, self-esteem, and a growth mindset.

At Kagoj Bari and similar organizations, mentorship is woven into every educational effort. By pairing children with caring adults or older students, we help create a support system that empowers them to dream bigger and work toward a brighter future.
