Since the government passed the 1982 Citizenship Act, the Rohingya people have been denied access to education and subjected to grave human rights abuses in Myanmar. Recently they are at the final stage of genocide, and there are more than a million people fled to Bangladesh where most of them are children and youth.

We realize the necessity of education in uplifting the entire Rohingya community out of inter-generational poverty and debt trap. This project has been designed to provide quality education for the coming generation from the grassroots level to possible higher level by equipping them with necessities.

Many requests we’ve been receiving are related to education and scholarships, particularly post-secondary level students, who have recently been displaced and took refuge in Bangladesh. There are thousands of post-secondary students now living in the Bangladesh refugee camps. They all supposed to be in colleges or universities if the Rohingyas were citizens of any country. However, less than one percent of these students have been able to secure enrollment in post-secondary institutions such as universities or colleges.

In the past few years, much light has been shed on the refugee crisis in Bangladesh. Many countries and humanitarian NGOs have paid attention to their necessities such as food, shelter, and health care, but education remains one of the main important parts for them.
