THE PROBLEM
Refugees and asylum seekers have been around even before we realize they are living among us. According to a research done by UNHCR, there are 179,570 refugees and asylum-seekers 45,980 being under the age of 18 currently registered with UNHCR Malaysia. The majority of them are from the country of Myanmar mainly fleeing from the persecution in the nation. Many refugees and asylum seekers do not have the privilege to enrol to public school, thus relying on community-based learning centers to obtain education. Unfortunately, the pandemic did not exclude the centers which directly impact the only form of education that the refugees have.
THE SOLUTION
Empowering Equalities is a 4-week project started by AIESEC in Sunway that focuses on facilitating the learning opportunities for refugees’ children and also raising awareness on the issues that the vulnerable community face to the general public. During the period of 4 weeks, we will be conducting 3 workshops that focuses on developing important skills for refugee children to integrate into society. We will be conducting podcasts, awareness talks, and interviews for the general public knowledge on the refugee status quo here in Malaysia. Last but not least, this crowdfunding initiative is to assist refugees learning centres with their operations to provide education despite the global pandemic and to sustain our project in the long run.
THE IMPACT
With Empowering Equalities, we are able to reduce the negative stigma of the refugee community to the general public. Not only that, we are also able to develop future skills for the future employability for refugee kids by:
- Developing presentation skills
- Better development of English skills
- Expansion on their field of communication
