This Thesis uses data from Nilphamari, a district in the northern part of Bangladesh, where hardcore poverty is a common scenario. The core objective of this study is to examine the impact of some key factors on child development through education and health. To complete the study we have used chi-square test, logistic regression analysis and backward regression analysis. The bivariate analysis explores the association between child development and age, family size, parents' education, parents' occupation, various NGOs' programs on child education and health and so on. The data collected form a total of 1028 respondents. Among all respondents ,69.70% are still going to school of them 74.47% are going to NGOs school are learning in NGOs school. In our study, we found among the total children 31.80% read in BRAC schools 17.90%, in RDRS schools, and 12.00% in plan school Various NGOs helped 89.30% children among them 44.40%, 27.70% and 17.20% respondents are helped by BRAC, RDRS and Plan respectively. The study result reveal that 64.20% and 65.50% children are helped by financial and educational instrument respectively. Again 60.90% respondents are through helped treatment by various NGOs, 14.00% children or their family use open field latrine, only 0.10% check up their health regularly and 5.60% are suffering from chronic diseases. 92.30% children are playing regularly. 88.10% children are about knowledge of microbes spread by open latrine by NGOs and 84.60% children have health awareness by NGOs where 6.20%, 39.80%, 24.90% and 13.20% children have heath awareness by BRIF, BRAC, RDRS and Plan respectively. 90.90% and 89.40% children are washing hands after toilet and hand washing before taking meal respectively. Also 2.20% and 32.10% children are taking medical facilities by NGOs hospital and government hospitals respectively where 65.70% are going to village doctor for medical services.
