Secondo una statistica dell’UNHCR, oggi ci sono più di dieci milioni di persone che sono considerate quali “rifugiate”. La maggior parte di loro si trova in campi posti nei Paesi limitrofi, in condizioni di vita molto indigenti. Lungo la frontiera Birmano-Thailandese ci sono circa 150.000 rifugiati birmani che vivono in nove campi che si trovano lungo al confine, in una situazione pessima. L’obiettivo del nostro progetto consiste nell’aiutare a creare un luogo accogliente per il gruppo più vulnerabile fra quelli lì presenti: i bambini rifugiati che sono stati abbandonati dalle loro famiglie o che sono orfani. Il nostro progetto riguarda un piccolo ‘villaggio sostenibile’ per questi bambini in cui possa essere loro offerta un’istruzione superiore, dei mezzi di sussistenza e anche una protezione emotiva ed economica. Le strategie sostenibili sono applicate e incluse nella proposta al fine di migliorare la qualità della vita e allo stesso tempo per fornire loro uno spazio per crescere e sperare nel futuro.
