Primary school in Rohingya camp
(日本語訳↓)
This project is to raise money for building a primary school in Kutupalong Rohingya refugee camp, Cox's bazar, Bangladesh.
Many Rohingya refugees lost their family members and they themselves were tortured or sexually abused in their home country, Myanmar. Some children saw their parents were killed in front of them or even they themselves were injured.
In spite of their plight, people are helping each other in a camp and trying not to lose their hope for their future. Many children miss studying and many teachers miss teaching. However, there is not enough schools and materials in a camp.

I will send all the donations to Aung Tin who is a leader of Burmese Rohingya Association in Japan (BRAJ). I visited his primary school in Kutupalong camp with him in January and there were around 400 children (the class room was totally packed) learning English, Burmese and Rohingya language. However, there are still some more children who cannot study, so he decided to build another school. 100%of the donations will be used to build a school, well, toilet, learning materials, and incentives for teachers.

Education is a key for peace-building. Many Rohingyas (especially women) are illiterate because their right to study was restricted in Myanmar. I believe that giving an opportunity to study for children means giving them hope for their future.
I would really appreciate any amount of money and thank you for reading this!
After we complete building a school with your support, I will keep you updated here.

*Aung Tin spent around 7500$ (=60000NOK, 6000EUR or 80万円) to build his first school at his own expenses but I just set a minimum target goal.
For reference, 100kr is about US$13 or ¥1400.
-目的-
バングラデシュ最大のロヒンギャキャンプ”クトゥパロンキャンプ”で小学校を建てるための募金活動をしています。
-問題-
ロヒンギャ難民の多くが家族を殺されたり、自分自身も拷問や性的虐待を祖国ミャンマーで受けてきました。自分の目の前で親や兄弟が殺されたり、自分自身も逃げる時に撃たれて怪我をしてしまった子供達も少なくありません。
”子供たちに何がしたい?”と聞くと、”ビルマ語を勉強したい”と言う言葉が返ってきますが、キャンプでは学校が不足していて、沢山の子供たちが未だに学校に行けていません。
ミャンマーで差別を受けていたので、教育を受けていない人も多く識字率も低いです(特に女性)。
-募金の使い道-
集めたお金は全てアウンティンさん(在日ビルマロヒンギャ協会のリーダー)が新しい学校を建てる為の建設費、井戸、トイレ、教材費、教師へのインセンティブ等に100%使われます。
アウンティンさんは既に80万円程自分の貯金で学校をキャンプに建てましたが、それでもまだ勉強できない子供の数が多く、今回新たに学校を建設することに決めました。彼の貯金で新たに学校を建設し、これからも教員へのインセンティブを払い続けるのは不可能です。
*目標金額はあくまで最低目標です*
(10NOK=136円)
教育は平和構築に一番欠かせないものです。子供達に教育の機会を与えることは、彼等に将来への希望を与えることです。
最後まで読んで下さって、本当にありがとうございました。
少額でも構わないので、ロヒンギャの子供たちを支援して下さるととてもありがたいです。
