Music for Development
Changing Lives Through Music
“Music means happiness and love. With love and your support we can change the lives of underprivileged children of Bangladesh.”
— Rezwana Choudhury Bannya, Project Leader of Music for Development
Our Story
Music for Development (MFD) started in 2009 as a project of Shurer Dhara, a premier college for Rabindrasangeet and Bengali performing arts based in Dhaka. It began with a vision to improve the lives of the children from the slum areas of Dhaka through music education. In its first year, MFD was funded by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
What We Do
Our students love singing, dancing, acting, reciting. Enjoy some photos of our students’ performances.
Show Case of Events by Our Students
Our students are underprivileged children from different slum areas of Dhaka and its adjoining areas. Although music is our main focus we also give the children of MFD extra tutoring in mathematics, Bengali, English, coding and vocational training these underprivileged children to grow up to be successful and happy citizens of Bangladesh.
