Growing together for a sustainable future

That’s why we are proud to support Baniarchala Model Academy, a local school in Gazipur, Bangladesh, attended by many children of AMC Composite factory workers.

Baniarchala Model Academy educates 333 students, from early years through Grade 10. More than half of the students are girls, and many come from low-income families, with a number of children receiving free education.

Importantly, 151 students are children of AMC Composite workers making the school a natural place for us to support, rooted in proximity, trust, and real community needs.

When the project began, the priority was clear: create a safe, functional, and motivating learning environment.

B&C supported essential infrastructure improvements, including freshly painted classrooms, clean toilets, drinking water fountains, LED lighting, and fans — simple but fundamental elements for everyday learning.

From there, the focus expanded to opportunity.

Access to technology is key to future employability, yet remains limited for many children. To help bridge that gap, B&C supported the creation of a new computer lab, equipped with eight computers, desks, chairs, and a beamer. For many students, this is their first exposure to digital tools and basic IT skills.

Frequent electricity outages can disrupt learning — especially when it comes to digital equipment. To ensure continuity, 12 rooftop solar panels were installed, providing energy autonomy for fans and computers, and allowing classes to continue even during power cuts.

Practical science education was another missing piece.

Today, the school is equipped with the necessary materials to properly teach chemistry and physics, enabling hands-on experiments and a more engaging learning experience for students.

To anchor the partnership in everyday school life, books, pens, and polos were developed featuring the B&C, AMC, and Baniarchala Model Academy logos — a simple way to make the collaboration visible and meaningful for students and teachers alike.

The project was officially inaugurated on Monday 19th January, bringing together the school team, AMC management, and B&C representatives. It marked a uniquely successful collaboration built on shared responsibility and trust.
