In Myanmar, the political situation continues to become more critical, and the corona virus continues its path of destruction. In extremely difficult situations such as this, the international humanitarian aid sector is tested. Especially internally displaced people suffer under these extremely uncertain and inhumane conditions including the threat of the next pandemic wave.

Access to clean water, hygiene and WASH facilities are the most important measures against the spread of the COVID-19 virus and to improve health. This will support the children and their parents in the refugee camp for internally displaced people in Paletwa in Myanmar, thanks to the generous donation from RTL We Help Children.
The restoration of the human dignity of children and parents in emergency camps, as well as the prevention of COVID-19 are very important to us with RTL Wir Helfen Kindern!
Three Pillars of Hope for Children WorldwideSince 2015, the educational project “100 Years ZF – 100 Schools” has been supported in 10 countries. Children that otherwise would not have access to high quality education have three building blocks that make learning possible.
Thirty-five Low Cost Private Schools (LCPS): 10 in Sierra Leone, 15 in Bangladesh and 10 clusters in India (with sixty centers).
Improved quality in seventy schools (20 in China, 20 in Mexico, 10 in Nepal, 10 in Peru und 10 in the Philippines) through teacher trainings, better curriculum, and available appropriate learning materials.
More than 4,300 students in remote regions in forty-seven schools in Zambia and fifty-three schools in South Africa received bicycles to reach their schools that are located kilometers far away and were allowed to use the bicycles as a means of transportation.
It is estimated that world-wide 150 million children and adolescents between the ages of 5 to 16 are forced to work under catastrophic and extremely dangerous conditions.
