STORY

History

On February 18, 2005, the school project SMS Bangladesh was founded by two individuals and partners who had been working together for several years: Filip Engsig-Karup, who had been a teacher and missionary in Bangladesh from 1982 to 1995, where he was the leader of Danmission's school program, and Nogendro Nath Bormon, Birganj, the former director of the school program.

In Bangladesh, a board is established for the project and SMS Bangladesh is formed as its own organization. At the same time, a support group is formed in Denmark, tasked with providing support in terms of knowledge and financial contributions.

       
2005: The first school is established in Birganj.
2006: A new school opens in Pirganj.
2007: The third school opens in Patnitala.

FOUNDATION:
The schools are based on Bangladeshi cultural heritage and fundamental values such as equality and respect for fellow human beings.
The schools aim to influence the local community and therefore admit students from all social classes. This allows for involving parents in the school board and promoting understanding of democracy and equality.
The schools admit students from all religious backgrounds: Islam, Hinduism, and Christianity, thereby promoting friendship and dialogue among students and parents.
In Bangladesh, English is the most important language at the university level. Therefore, instruction is conducted in English as much as possible - except for mother tongue instruction - in order to familiarize rural children with the language and give them the opportunity to pursue higher education.
Volunteers from Denmark help teachers improve their English, play with the students, and embody the fundamental values of the place.
