A daughter of a day labourer, she has never believed her dream would come true. She has never thought she could be an electrical engineer.
But an opportunity came. She took part in a six-month vocational training programme. And that raised her hopes high.
In the evening shift, she took training in electrical and house wiring at the training centre. The centre is run by an NGO in Bahaddarhat area of Chittagong city.
After the training, she can now install calling bells, motor connections, tube lights, electric fans and so on.
The name of the project is "Vocational Skills Training for Urban Working Children in Bangladesh". Under this project, the NGO provides training to poor children in Chittagong. The United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund or UNICEF is funding the project.
The training shows how things can be done practically. Lessons about safety measures are also given.
The instructors are always present during the practical training sessions as part of safety measures.
