In Myanmar Rohingya children who are educated are often targeted by the military and Buddhist extremist mobs. In the aftermath of the 2017-18 genocide, more than 60% of the refugees arriving in refugee camps in Bangladesh were children, often without parents or any adult members of their family.

In the refugee camps Rohingya children have the opportunity they haven't had before -- to get education. You can help with this by funding programs that give these children literacy and math skills.

You can help them by giving them what they crave -- an education -- so that one day these children will lead their people out of the shadow of perpetual injustice and poverty.

People Empowering People (PEP) is a registered Canadian charity that has partnered with Extreme Poverty Projects Canada (a registered charity) to raise funds for education and employment training projects in the Rohingya refugee camps. We believe in empowering individuals and communities rather than simply donating to provide food and shelter.

Since our inception PEP has successfully implemented numerous empowerment projects - from schools to vocational training to trafficking awareness programs that are managed and run by the Rohingya refugees on the grounds inside the refugee camps.

Our projects are run by a small team of dedicated volunteers in Canada, who not only put time into fundraising, accounting, tax keeping, creating reports, and publicizing of our efforts, but also put their own money to cover remittance fees and banking costs. Hence, 100% of donor funds go to the needy on the ground in Bangladesh.

Our bank statements are public, so you can see where the money is being spent. As a Canadian registered charity, we are able to issue tax receipts for our work.

For any contribution above CAD$20, we will send you a tax receipt if you provide us with your email address. We will also include your name on the banners at our school - or the name of anyone to whom you would like to dedicate your contribution.
