A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, the roots spring up and make new trees.
Forty percent of all refugees are children. In a camp environment they can easily fall prey to human trafficking where they are used for sex, forced labour, and marriage which leads to poverty, slavery, and abuse. EarthChildren Rescue seeks to break this cycle. Starting at the core, our four schools for orphaned girls provide K1-K12 education in a safe environment where the children are educated and nurtured.
A substantial funding shortfall forced the World Food Programme to reduce the refugee camp food rations by 30%. The food and nutrition situation has deteriorated rapidly. Over 15% of children now suffer from malnutrition – the highest rate ever recorded in the camps. Our holistic program includes a food and clean water in each of our schools. Every day the children are provided with a nourishing morning breakfast and hot lunch with clean water.
Due to malnutrition and low immunization rates, continuous outbreaks of infectious diseases including scabies, measles, and diphtheria are prevalent in the refugee camp. Right now, there is a 40 per cent prevalence rate of scabies, over 400,000 people have contracted this extremely contagious disease. The children in our schools are provided with access to basic health care to treat and overcome these diseases.
The refugee camps of Bangladesh are prone to landslides, flooding, and fire. The shelters are made of plastic and have minimal air flow making these makeshift homes extremely hot. Our schools are built with renewable materials (such as bamboo), powered by renewable energy (solar), and incorporate green building designs to maximise airflow.
The following short film, filmed in 2024, depicts the critical situation of life with water inside the refugee camps. Bangladesh, like US Florida, sits in hurricane alley. The region is hit with increasingly devastating storms each year. Further, monsoon season from June to October wreaks havoc in the camps with torrential rain causing landslides and flooding of the flimsy shelter homes. In never seen before footage, the following film is a beautiful and raw depiction of everyday life in the camps and the relationship we have with water.
The real wealth of the Nation lies in the resources of the earth - soil, water, forests, minerals, and wildlife.
The Baka people face significant challenges including poverty and limited access to education. Due to their short stature, they are labelled as pygmies and often face discrimination as a minority group. Many children struggle with school fees and accessing mainstream education. In 2025/26, two schools will be established in the Baka community, focusing on their culture and traditions to strengthen their identity and preserve their way of life.
The Baka community faces challenges in accessing clean water due to their remote forest locations. They typically rely on rivers and streams, which can become polluted during the rainy season. Children often travel long distances to fetch water, exposing them to dangers. In 2025/26, solar-powered clean water wells will be established in Baka villages to improve access to clean water.
The Baka share a profound connection with their surroundings, perceiving the forest as a living entity. Living in harmony with nature is the core principle of the Baka way of life. Eviction from their forest homes due to the establishment of protected areas threatens their identity and very existence. In 2025/26 we will begin working with the Baka helping to develop agroforestry and farming programs as they transition from a nomadic to sedentary lifestyle.
EarthChildren Rescue in partnership with Environment and Rural Development Foundation is working to support and uplift the Baka people of Cameroon. The Baka people, sometimes referred to as Pygmies, are the victims of poverty, endemic famine, lack of education and basic medical care, social isolation and exclusion from the political decision-making process. The Baka who have inhabited the rainforests of Cameroon for approximately 5,000 years, are being evicted from their forest home to make way for protected areas, and logging and mining industries. In the Nomedjo region of southern Cameroon thousands of Baka have been forcibly displaced. The rapid depletion of the rainforests poses a significant threat to their traditional way of life. Integration efforts aimed at settling the Baka, who are prohibited from living in or even accessing the forests designated as national parks, have been largely unsuccessful. Each year, 8 million hectares of forest are logged. The brief video below, produced by the Environment and Rural Development Foundation, highlights the urgent need for support and resources for this forest-dwelling community. "We are linked to the forest, it is our heritage. We can find all the species there, all our food comes from the forest" - Baka forest resident.
For me, success is having a dream, believing in that dream, believing in myself, and taking daily steps towards achieving my dream. Whether I get to where I hoped to go does not matter, for success is about having the courage to undertake the journey.
