Q1 Why Bangladesh?
This is because it is the country with the lowest annual income in Asia.
Q2 Why is it a vocational school instead of higher education?
Skills once learned do not suddenly become useless. In poor countries, even one person with a stable income can lift many family members and relatives out of poverty. Because vocational training is an efficient way to get out of poverty.
Q3 How are children selected for scholarships?
WSO provides scholarships to children who have completed compulsory education and are recommended by carefully selected local NPOs and NGOs.
In order to receive a scholarship, the child must be motivated for vocational training and willing to repay the scholarship they receive. The WSO Secretariat examines the young people and selects those who are judged to be suitable.
