EarthChildren launched its pilot of Project Bright Light in April of 2022 to provide life support and education for orphaned refugee girls in the world’s largest refugee camp in Bangladesh. This comprehensive and innovative program provides 65 orphaned refugee girls all they need to thrive and helps them to break free from the cycle of poverty, slavery, violence, inequality, and oppression seen all too often in the camps. Since its inception, the program has grown to three learning centers that support a total 65 students. Funding from TECfusions Foundation will sustain the continued work of Project Bright Light in uplifting and empowering girls most in need. Thank you TECfusions Foundation for your partnership and support, and for bringing light into one of the darkest places on earth.

ASIAN ELEPHANTS MEET REFUGEES
September, 2022
Fleeing brutality in Myanmar, more than 1 million Rohingya refugees have fled across the border into Bangladesh and settled along elephant corridors, sparking conflict with the critically endangered Asian elephants, who have in turn been displaced. According to current estimates, there are about 250 elephants in Bangladesh. Some 35-45 of them live around the refugee camps. Most of which are now confined or trapped, in the small, fragmented forested patches of Ukhiya and Teknaf in Cox’s Bazar. The refugees, in turn, are stateless. No home. No citizenship of any country. They have no where to turn and nowhere to go. Endangered peoples and endangered elephants doing their best to survive.

EARTHCHILDREN. PROJECT SUSTAINABLE CITIES.
REBUILDING HOMES
EarthChildren supported two beautiful women to rebuild their shelter, their home, in Nayapara Refugee Camp. The old shelter was made of simple plastics and bamboo supports. It was falling down, uninhabitable. Using green building principles where possible, EarthChildren rebuilt the shelter into a sustainable and strong home equipped with a solid floor, solid walls and roof, solar energies, and basic amenities including a bed, bedding, mosquito net, tables and chairs and cupboards. Far exceeding anything the mother and daughter had previously experienced in Camp life. Our home is our temple. Our sanctuary. Our stability. Improving living standards not only improves our physical experience but drastically improves our mental health.
