Our Primary Focus
We work with linguists to develop a written form of Rohingya, providing a resource in their native language.
The topics are tailored to encourage healthy lifestyle changes that may aid in the trauma-healing process.
Our book introduces basic nutrition and healthy habits, including physical movement, throughout all stages of life.

Rohingya female adolescents participated in our Girls' Program from March - May, 2022.
Current education level:
11% of students have never been to school before
72% of students have education level between Grades 1 - 3
14% of students have education level between Grades 4 - 6
3% of students have education level higher than Grade 6
Frequency of education:
97% of students do not go to school everyday
* This is mainly due to the COVID lockdowns in Kutupalong, which has restricted education programs since 2020.
When asked if they study at home, 58% of students said no.
Comments from a student:
[Some girls] Get married now like me as there is no study opportunity and no training. I was married forcibly when I was 16 years old in this pandemic. And every girl does cooking and organizing as their responsibility.
