We are working in the rural, urban, and semi-urban areas of North 24 Parganas in West Bengal, India, where communities face significant challenges, lacking basic amenities. To support these families, Our Friends in Need School (OFINS) established a free primary school named "Anweshan – A Child Development Centre" in Badu-Mathgram village in 2017. Starting with 32 students, Anweshan has grown to 87, reflecting our commitment to providing quality education to underprivileged children.
We believe that education is a gift for life, capable of transforming the future of these children. Every child has unique potential and can achieve great things if given the right opportunities. With regular contributions from our supporters, we strive to help these children reach school and receive modern education.
Our mission is to ensure that every child, regardless of their background, can learn, play, and grow alongside their peers. Under the guidance of skilled teachers, we nurture their creativity and build their skills, empowering them to lead lives of dignity and positively impact their communities. Together, we are creating brighter futures for these children, one step at a time.

Kamarujjaman and Tanisha are very pretty twin siblings. They are 9 years old and read in class IV. Tanisha stands 1st and Kamarujjaman stands 2nd in their class. Tanisha wants to be a doctor and her brother wants to be a policeman. Their father works as a labourer in a factory.
