In the refugee camp Kutupalong in Bangladesh the situation of approximately one million Rohingya refugees is more than precarious because the camp is just not equipped for so many people. Most refugees live in makeshift shelters, the hygienic conditions are catastrophic, drinking water and food are scarce.
Measures to protect people in the overcrowded camps from further diseases include the provision of baby food, medical care for babies and their mothers, women, the elderly, and also the distribution of mosquito nets.
SONNE-International is one of very few foreign NGOs that are permitted to help locally. OUR EMERGENCY HEALTH CLINIC DEPENDS HEAVILY ON DONATIONS in order to be able to provide adequate medical care for countless suffering people, and our medical staff fight a day-to-day battle against the catastrophic conditions. The emergency is far from over, even though the mass media have lost interest in the fate of the Rohingya!
We support the nomadic Afar ethnicity, especially women and children, with basic medical care and mobile education.
In Bihar the children of the Dalit (the “untouchables”) benefit from school projects and self-defence courses for girls.
We operate educational and training projects for ethnic minorities in remote villages.
In our day care and training centres we look after vulnerable children and adolescents.
