The videos help the children we support to connect with their peers, which is especially important for Rohingya refugee children trapped in the sprawling camps of Kutupalong.
They are full of fun, presented by the children themselves, who love appearing in the newsletters. Much loved puppets also help to ‘present’ the episodes and footage of children dancing, singing and demonstrating crafts are popular features.
One teacher told us: “Children feel more enthusiastic to come to our school because of MojaKids”.
The children tell us so many positive things about Moja Kids:
“I love to watch children my age making videos” and "I love watching friends living in other camps". They really enjoy being shown how to build or make things by other children, telling us: “I like to watch because I’ve learned to draw flowers” and "I learned to make paper boats and do embroidery".
Moki the puppet is a favourite, because “he’s a chatterbox and always smiling”, others tell us they “want to meet Mokivai [the puppet]”.
Moka Kids episodes compliment our innovative digital curriculum in Bangladesh throughout all our learning centres in Bangladesh, helping children to learn with fun, engaging lessons taught on screen.
For Rohingya refugees trapped inside Kutupalong camp, the video lessons offer a chance to access meaningful education and understand what is being taught, as videos are dubbed in their own language.
