What We Do

Education In Emergency

This project is designed to deliver impactful educational services tailored to specific categories within the Rohingya Refugee Camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Initially, we plan to offer these services to two groups of beneficiaries over a six-month period, from February 2025 to July 2025. The direct beneficiaries are adolescents, while caregivers are the indirect beneficiaries. Emphasizing the importance of girls’ education and gender norms awareness, we have established a series of seasonal agendas to guide our efforts.

RESEARCHING TEAM

The objective of this project is to implement mortality surveillance through Verbal Autopsy, targeting a sample size of 68 individuals each from Camp 11, Camp 14, and Camp 9 within the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh. These camps were chosen for their high population density and will serve as the pilot phase for a broader mortality surveillance initiative, pending future funding. The project seeks to better understand the disease burden and identify the primary causes of mortality within the Rohingya community. By doing so, it aims to raise awareness and inform the development of targeted interventions to address these critical health challenges.

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 Centres 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.
