UNYSAB celebrates eid celebration for street children
Eid is a time of joy, new clothes, and memorable moments with family and friends. But this happiness remains a distant dream for many children living on the streets.
With the hope of changing that reality, the United Nations Youth and Students Association of Bangladesh (UNYSAB) organised "Eid for Street Children 2025".
This was more than just an event to distribute gifts—it was a heartfelt effort to bring the spirit of Eid to children who often miss out on the celebrations. Over a hundred children attended the event, receiving new Eid clothes and a colourful day filled with stories, creativity, and laughter.

To spread the joy of Eid among everyone, the children participated in various creative and fun activities, such as storytelling, applying henna, drawing, and making Eid cards with their hands.
Some were immersed in bringing their imaginative world to life on paper with colours, while others were decorating their hands with henna designs. A few shared stories of their lives, big and small dreams, feelings of what they have and haven't received, and expressions of love.
This day was not just for the children but also a unique experience for the volunteers. UNYSAB volunteers did not just finish their responsibility by giving gifts; they made the children's day joyful with their time, love, and sincerity.
"Today, we didn't just give Eid clothes; we celebrated Eid with them," said one volunteer. "Their joy and excitement in their eyes - our biggest gift."
The event was attended by UNYSAB members, alums, volunteers, and special guests. The atmosphere was filled with joy, energy, and a strong sense of togetherness. This initiative was not just about one day - it carried a message: Eid is significant when shared with everyone.
"Eid for Street Children" is not just about giving clothes or gifts; it is about building connections, sharing love, and ensuring no child feels left out of the celebration. UNYSAB is committed to standing by underprivileged children in the future, making the colours of their dreams brighter.
