Young entrepreneur Shafiqul Islam from Dhaka in Bangladesh loves reading and riding his bicycle. In the Aflatoun classes at BRAC primary school he learned how to save, how to help others and how to make a plan that really works.
THE BEST BIKES IN BANGLADESH
With his first savings, Shafiqul bought his second-hand bike that he would rent out to pay for his education. Meanwhile he would teach other children how to cycle, giving them a new skill but also turning them into potential customers. In a matter of a few years time, he was running a business of four bikes.
“Come to me for Bangladesh’s Best Bikes!”
Shafiqul
The boy from Dhaka with the Aflatoun entrepreneurial spirit hopes to own his own mechanical and rickshaw repair shop one day and, of course, many more bikes. Aflatoun’s social and financial education empowers Shafiqul and millions of children worldwide, turning dependence into independence.
