Education for rohingya girls

For the Girls

Rohingya Community

A book made by girls, for girls. Filling an education gap which preserves, dignifies, and explores traditional practices and wisdom around Rohingya womanhood.

About the For the Girls Project
“Do you have a book with girls that look like us?”
Our team of female artists created a book specifically for Rohingya girls. Along with basic health practices, the book encourages creativity, innovation, and community-based work throughout all phases of life. The picture-based approach is designed to encourage girls to ask questions and spark conversation among their peers, regardless of their literacy level.
We collaborate with linguists and translators to create a written form of their Rohingya language. We go through a cultural verification process to ensure that the vocabulary we use & the cartoons developed are the most-widely understood for the focus community.

Providing Resources

We distribute student books, school supplies, and snacks to a classroom of 20 girls. We employ a local Rohingya teacher and provide her with our Teacher Guide.

Launch Programs

Building Community

We conduct 24-session programs with classes of 20 girls. Each session focuses on a page topic. We discuss & complete 3 activities (drawing, partner, and group activity) to apply what we’ve learned.
