Amid the waves of the Cox’s Bazar sea and the shadows of its hills, a silent revolution is unfolding—Michhil Pathshala. It isn’t housed in a luxurious building nor run on funding from large donor organizations. Yet, it is a remarkable cradle of dreams, teaching not just letters but life lessons. Established in 2022, Michhil Pathshala is more than just a school; it is a beacon of hope.

This humble institution is home to 55 underprivileged children—barefoot warriors whose lives bear the scars of poverty. Here, they are learning to rewrite their destinies. Every day, these children arrive at the school, eyes ablaze with dreams and hearts brimming with the promise of a better future.

Michhil began with a group of spirited young individuals from Cox’s Bazar Government High School. Their vision and determination laid the foundation for this extraordinary initiative.

Without the support of major donors or benefactors, Michhil Pathshala thrives on its members’ limited resources and boundless dedication. The school follows teaching methods from renowned educational institutions, blending them with practical, life-oriented lessons that resonate with the children’s realities.

Michhil Pathshala believes every child is a light of potential—a future doctor, engineer, teacher, or even a change-maker who will lead society toward progress. Here, children learn stories of courage and the skills to overcome life’s challenges.
