The Rohingya Aid and Empowerment Network is conducting Capacity Building Training sessions for the young generations of Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, the largest refugee settlement in the world. These training sessions aim to empower and equip the youth with essential skills, knowledge, and resources to build a better future amidst the challenges they face in the camps. By focusing on education, leadership, and personal development, the initiative seeks to foster self-reliance and resilience among the next generation of Rohingya, helping them overcome adversity and contribute to their community’s progress and growth.

This Project aimed to provide the impactful Educational Services according to a such category in the Rohingya Refugee Camp, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Initially, We are planned to provide the service for two types of beneficiary for 6 months from March– 2025 to July – 2025. The direct Beneficiaries are Adolescents and indirect Caregivers. We prioritized Important of Girl Education and Gender Norms Awareness and set up some seasonal Agendas.

RESEARCH PROJECT

“Mortality Surveillance Using Verbal Autopsy to Understand The Disease Burden Amongst the Rohingya Refugee Community”
The goal of this project is to conduct a mortality survey using Verbal Autopsy with a sample size of 68 from Camp 11, 68 from Camp 14, and 68 from Camp 9 of the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh. These three camps were selected due to their high population density and serve as the pilot phase for the subsequent phase of a mortality surveillance project, contingent upon funding availability. The project’s aim is to gain a clearer understanding of the disease burden and identify the underlying causes of mortality within the Rohingya community, with the hope that this effort will raise awareness and drive the implementation of targeted interventions.

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT & LEADERSHIPS

Our Commitment to Gender Equality & Women Leadership. The Livelihood Support to Women Through Tailoring Training project aims to empower 20 Rohingya refugee women in Cox’s Bazar by providing six months of tailoring and sewing skills training. The project promotes women’s economic independence, dignity, and self-reliance through vocational skills, basic entrepreneurship, and psychosocial support. By enabling women to generate income and preserve traditional Rohingya designs, the initiative contributes to household stability, community resilience, and long-term sustainability within the refugee camps.

Rohingya Students’ Dreams Beyond Borders is a pilot education initiative by the Rohingya Aid and Empowerment Network (RAEN) that bridges the gap between matriculation and higher education for Rohingya students in the Cox’s Bazar refugee camps. The program supports 14 Rohingya youth, including girls, who have completed the Myanmar curriculum but lack access to further formal education. Through online learning platforms, digital devices, academic resources, and structured supervision, the initiative sustains learning, builds leadership and vocational skills, and strengthens hope and resilience in displacement.

The program seeks strategic partnerships and fully funded scholarship opportunities to support students particularly girls in transitioning from this bridging phase to accredited higher education programs. RAEN aims to collaborate with universities, donors, and education-focused institutions to establish sustainable, long-term scholarship pathways and scale this pilot into a replicable model for Rohingya youth access to higher education beyond the camps.

The Rohingya Aid and Empowerment Network (RAEN) implements an education initiative supporting two Community Learning Centers in the Cox’s Bazar refugee camps, delivering safe, inclusive, and high-quality education to approximately 500 Rohingya children through the engagement of 17 qualified teachers over a 12-month period. The program enhances access to structured learning, reinforces child safeguarding standards, and promotes meaningful community participation, while upholding principles of equality, accountability, and continuous improvement in educational practice. Centered on refugee leadership and community agency, the initiative ensures that education services are relevant, dignified, and responsive to the educational needs and aspirations of Rohingya children.
