Sonamita Chakma: Focused, Responsible, and Community-Minded
Sonamita Chakma is a focused 15-year-old girl from Bandarban in south-eastern Bangladesh. Calm and determined, she enjoys practising her handwriting and playing spiking (volleyball). Often seen in her favourite blue outfit, Sonamita shows quiet confidence and a strong sense of responsibility, traits that guide how she approaches both learning and daily life.
She lives in a large, close-knit household with her parents, siblings, and grandparents. The family relies on a modest income from manual and agricultural work, which means resources are carefully managed. Despite these challenges, education is valued at home, and Sonamita is encouraged to stay committed to her studies and personal growth.
Sonamita dreams of becoming a police officer so she can protect and serve her community. Sponsorship can help her access steady education, learning materials, and opportunities for personal development. With encouragement and support, Sonamita can continue building the confidence and skills she needs to work towards a positive future and inspire other girls around her.
