THE PROBLEM
Education plays an important part in our lives, however, not everyone has the privilege to access formal education in Malaysia. Unfortunately, there are some 46,610 refugee children below the age of 18 which do not have access to formal education as they are not allowed to enroll into public schools. Hence, refugee children solely rely on refugee learning centers to gain access to proper education, and these learning centres do not have sustainable funds. In addition, the strike of the pandemic had affected the operations of the refugee learning center, which directly affects the sole learning opportunity of these refugee children. Despite the issues that the refugee community are currently facing, there is still a lack of awareness among the general public.
THE SOLUTION
Empowering Equalities is a 4-week project started by AIESEC in Sunway which focuses on facilitating the learning opportunities of refugee children and raising awareness about the issues faced by the refugee community to the general public. In this period of 4 weeks, AIESEC in Sunway will be conducting weekly workshops to teach the refugee children skills that are useful when integrating into society. Furthermore, we will also be conducting various activities such as creating podcasts, having awareness talks and interviewing refugees with an aim to raise awareness about the refugee’s status quo to the public.
In addition to our initiative, we would like to conduct a crowdfunding initiative to ensure that the activities that we conduct are sustainable and able to ensure that refugee children will still be able to gain access to proper education despite the pandemic period. Therefore, the funds collected will be used to fund our activities and the rest will be donated to the refugee learning centers.
THE IMPACT
Through Empowering Equalities, we will be able to reduce the negative stigma of the refugees community in the perception of the general public. Furthermore, it also allows the refugee kids to develop useful skills for their future employability by:
-
Understanding their strengths and weaknesses
-
Better development of lifeskills
-
Expansion of field of knowledge
