Children use the library and computer training centre on a boat run by Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha, an NGO founded in 1998 with a mission to assist the communities living along the vast wetlands of Chalan Beel in Rajshahi district. By building up a fleet of solar powered flat-bottomed boats, all made with locally available materials, Shidhulai provides a range of education, health and training facilities to water-side families.
