These babies growing up and not having access to any education. All you want, is for them to have what you never did; the opportunity an education provides, to change their future.
Breathe Life, in partnership with Equal Start, can give them education opportunities, and break the poverty cycle.
Life feels intolerable. The suppressed traumas of genocide and refugee life, leaves you feeling numb. But eventually unhealthy responses unexpectedly begin to manifest.
With YOUR help Breathe Life hopes to engage mental health teams in the refugee communities, to restore good mental well-being and to build a sense of belonging and community.
Malaysian law does not allow for home births and thus medical expenses are beyond the means of these families. Together with financial assistance, we advocate and defend them when they are most vulnerable. There is a desperate need for families to be assisted as unemployment is high and many have been laid off due to the Covid crisis.
UNHCR assistance is given only to those who are documented - many are not documented and without a voice, can be arrested and imprisoned - even during pregnancy and birth. Our presence and advocacy protects them to some extent.
