Basement Systems Sponsors 10 Bangladesh Children

Basement Systems Sponsors 10 Bangladesh Children - Image 1Basement Systems is making an impact on many young lives living in poverty in Bangladesh. Larry Janesky, owner of Basement Systems, is sponsoring 10 children in Bangladesh through the Shapla Foundation.

The Shapla Foundation is the world's first transparent child sponsorship program where you can see exactly how your money is being spent on a sponsored child. You can actually click on a child's profile on the website and view a detailed spending report.

Each month the foundation collects money from donors, and then an assigned caretaker in Bangladesh uses it to buy food, clothing, school supplies, medicine, and other products the children need.

The foundation was launched in April by Evan Islam, who was born in Bangladesh and is the webmaster at Basement Systems. In total there are 21 children being sponsored so far, but Janesky is currently the biggest donor.

"This is BIG as he is making a direct impact on 10 lives," Islam said.
