Safe Havens for Learning
"The children hear the planes before the teachers do. Now there will be somewhere to run."
In Sagaing and Magway, community-led schools have become targets. Airstrikes and bombardments have made the simple act of learning into an act of courage. Parents send their children to school each morning not knowing if they'll come home.
Despite everything, the schools stay open. Teachers who joined the Civil Disobedience Movement continue teaching in village schoolrooms. Communities refuse to let their children's futures be stolen along with their safety.
But courage alone isn't enough. These schools have no shelters. No early warning systems. No way to protect the children when the sound of aircraft fills the sky.
This project changes that. Bomb shelters will give children somewhere to run. Icon-based alert systems will give them warning. And schools will finally have the basic supplies—desks, chairs, textbooks—they need to teach.
