Meet Rohana Bibi

12 year old Rohana fled horrific violence in Myanmar with her family when she was just three years old. During the escape, her brother was tragically killed, shot by the military near the border with Bangladesh. Although she found safety in the refugee camps in Bangladesh, with her parents, she remained shy and traumatised.

But everything changed when she started a school supported by Children on the Edge. For the first time, she began learning in her own language, Hanifi. She explains: "When I saw our Hanifi letters in my book, I felt like I finally belonged. It made me happy to learn in my own language." This cultural connection has helped her transition from a shy, traumatised child into a motivated student leader.

Rohana is now a confident student leader who loves reading and writing. Her mother has noticed a profound change in her well-being. She now learns with joy and dreams of becoming a teacher.

Your donation can help children like Rohana to access education and care in a safe space.
