Jesmin’s early life was marked by hardship, uncertainty, and struggle. She spent part of her childhood in vulnerable conditions, working as a domestic laborer without access to education or proper support. Like many children in similar situations, she faced insecurity, instability, and the painful reality of being overlooked by society.
Yet Jesmin carried a quiet determination to change her life. Her journey led her to LEEDO, where she found safety, care, guidance, and a place to dream again.
Today, Jesmin Akter stands as a powerful example of what a determined young journalist can become with the right platform, mentorship, and encouragement. Growing up in LEEDO Peace Home, she transformed her struggles into stories—using her voice, photography, and public speaking to inspire change.
Through the Young Journalist Changemaker Group, Jesmin developed professional communication, reporting, and leadership skills, turning her lived experience into a powerful tool for advocacy and storytelling.
In 2026, Jesmin achieved another important milestone in her journey: she successfully passed her Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination. Her achievement reflects not only her academic progress but also her resilience, determination, and commitment to building a better future for herself and others.
