Can skateboarding transform lives in Bangladesh?
Briefly

Bangladesh Street Kids Aid, founded by Susie Halsell, aims to support the country's over 3 million street children through essentials, education, and skateboarding. Facing significant challenges such as poverty, addiction, and exploitation, many of these children, particularly young girls, find a supportive environment through skate programs. These initiatives not only provide a safe space but also foster educational opportunities and essential life skills. The organization’s efforts highlight the profound impact that recreational activities like skateboarding can have on vulnerable populations, helping them envision a better future.
