As the grandmother's care!

Naim is an only child. When Naim was very young, his parents came to Dhaka in search of work. Soon after his grandmother joined the family to care for him, so that both parents could search for work. Both parents successfully found employment, Naim’s father in a garments factory, while his mother started working as domestic helper. After one year elapsed Naim’s grandmother returned to her village, which meant that one parent would have to leave his/her job to take care of him, and in this case it was his mother. Unfortunately the father’s wage was simply not sufficient for the whole family to survive. It was then that the family learnt of AB Day Care Center (DCC) in the same locality where they were living and came to visit one. Upon Naim being admitted, and his parents being safe in the knowledge that he is cared for and engaged in stimulating activities, his mother was able to find work again, allowing the family to earn more money, so they could maintain themselves with more ease.
