THE PROBLEM

Refugees and asylum seekers have been around even before we realize they are living among us. As of end October 2021, there are 179,830 refugees and asylum-seekers with 45,870 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 enroll in public schools, 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 focus on developing important skills for refugee children to integrate into society. We will be conducting panel discussions and interviews for the general public knowledge on the refugee status quo here in Malaysia. To add on, we will also be creating two Public Announcement Service videos which will be uploaded on social media. Last but not least, this crowdfunding initiative is to assist refugee learning centers 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 life skills for the future employability for refugee kids by:

- Developing public speaking skills

- Better development of English skills

- Expansion on their field of communication

About the Organization/Project behind this Campaign

AIESEC in Sunway

Our Identity

AIESEC is the world's largest non-profit youth-run organization. It is an international non-governmental not-for-profit organisation that provides young people with leadership development, cross-cultural global internships, and volunteer exchange experiences across the globe. The organization focuses on empowering young leaders to make a positive impact on society through actions.

Our Vision

AIESEC strives for Peace and Fulfilment of Humankind's Potential as an organisation.

In today’s context, ‘Peace’ does not necessarily mean only avoiding war. Peace can symbolise a world that does not have conflicts that arise from cultural, religious, or other aspects of differences in humanity. Peace can also symbolise being in harmony with yourself. AIESEC strives to build a world where people can work towards their own understanding of peace while respecting and understanding the views of others.

Through Fulfilment of Humankind’s Potential, AIESEC strives for a world where people can be the best version of themselves.

Our Action

We place our confidence in youth because they have the passion, dynamism and entrepreneurial spirit that are needed to shape the future. They have the responsibility to improve tomorrow by choosing who they will be today. Hence, AIESEC is a platform for young leaders to run projects that are aligned with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to ensure its relevance to the local community needs. We aim to be part of the solution for a betterment of Malaysia.
