STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP

EARTHCHILDREN

EarthChildren was established in 2020 to deliver critical and foundational programs and services to vulnerable women and orphaned children with a focus on refugee camps. All programs and services are built on sustainability and ESG principles. EarthChildren has two programs ‘arms’ – Project Humanity and Project Sustainable Cities. Project Humanity delivers life supports such as nourishing food, clean water, sustainable shelter, and clothing. Programs include education, microfinance, social enterprise, and sustainable farming. Project Humanity was created with the fundamental intention of improving the mental health of the individual and community in which we work. Project Sustainable Cities provides green living infrastructure in the form of sustainable, renewable, and habitable homes. Programs include solar micro fields, solar powered clean water wells, clean cookstoves and sustainable biofuels, green buildings, waste management, and human wildlife conflict resolution. Project Sustainable Cities was developed with the intention to create improved and sustainable living standards, that can remain across generations, and is balanced with planet. Together, these two ‘arms’ build a holistic and sustainable foundation to live life and thrive. EarthChildren’s work supports 11 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. EarthChildren was first established in the world’s largest refugee camp in Bangladesh. Click here to read about their work in Bangladesh.

ENDANGERED PEOPLE. ENDANGERED WILDLIFE.

ASIAN ELEPHANTS MEET REFUGEES

September, 2022

Fleeing brutality in Myanmar, more than 1 million Rohingya refugees have fled across the border into in Bangladesh and settled along elephant corridors, sparking conflict with the critically endangered Asian elephants, who have in turn been displaced. According to current estimates, there are about 250 elephants in Bangladesh. Some 35-45 of them live around the refugee camps. Most of who are now confined or trapped, in the small, fragmented forests patches of Ukhiya and Teknaf in Cox’s Bazar. The refugees, in turn, are stateless. No home. No citizenship of any country. They have not where to turn. Nowhere to go. Endangered peoples and endangered elephants doing their best to survive.
