This program is the continuation of the education and health assistance program funded by the Big Lottery Fund. Since the phasing out funding in December 2016, POPI has been implementing this program with its own resources in Nikli Upazilla of kishoregonj district.

Floating school is a unique intervention to ensure access to school by the haor children who otherwise would not been able to do it. As haor goes under water for nearly 8 months in a year and villages are scattered, due to communication difficulties children of haor villages where there is no govt. or community run primary schools are deprived of education.

To address this problem POPI conducts its floating schooling program.  Floating schools are housed in specially designed and built water launches and equipped with required facilities and learning/ teaching aides.

The major activities that are conducted under this project include:
