Empowering Myanmar Refugee Girls: Education and Transformation
DURATION:
Aug 2023 - Ongoing
LOCATION:
Bangkok and Mae sot, Thailand
PARTNER:
New Blood School, Raks Thai, etc.
INTRO:
The 2021 military coup in Myanmar triggered extensive conflict and violence, prompting families to flee for safety. Many of these displaced families found themselves without legal status in Thailand, which in turn led to economic struggles and increased susceptibility to exploitation. This disruption also had a profound impact on the children's education, forcing many of them to prematurely abandon their schooling, casting a shadow over their future prospects.
IMPACT:
China House and its students have played a significant role in empowering Myanmar refugee girls on the Thai-Myanmar border.
◎ Fostering Growth and Empowerment: The support provided by China House fosters growth and empowerment among refugee youth. By sponsoring students' education expenses and living costs, they are helping these students overcome obstacles and achieve their dreams.
