Current focus
A whole universe for learning Bangla
Almost 2 million Bangladeshi children live abroad with few fun ways to learn their mother tongue. At home, many children in English-medium schools have grown afraid of it.
We are making Bangla learning fun and personalized by creating an interactive content universe of Bangla — for children living abroad and in Bangladesh.

Why it matters
Saving a generation from being lost from their roots
Seventy years after people gave their lives for the Bangla language, hundreds of thousands of children are afraid of it. We think a language is the shortest path home.
