The Maha Garunadaw Education Foundation in Arakan State’s Taungup town, which provides education for students internally displaced by conflict (IDPs), is in need of donors for food and ideally ferrying for the students.
The foundation has to spend K100,000 a day for food and faces difficulty over the long term, said Daw Khin Mar Yi, the founder of Maha Garunadaw.
“I am worried for the long run because we have a small fund,” she said.
For one thing, the foundation says a school ferry should be arranged for the students but it does not have enough budget to cover the cost, so students have to go to school on foot.
Students are living at Pannyar Linkara Min Monastery in Chaung Kauk ward, and they have to walk an hour to the No. 1 Basic Education High School in Kan Paing ward.
There are 40 students in total benefitting from the Maha Garunadaw Education Foundation’s assistance, from Buthidaung and Rathedaung townships. Thirty-five of them are in Grade 10 and readying to sit the matriculation exam, and five of them are Grade 9 students.
The foundation helped 45 students to pursue their education last year, but they did not get a chance to sit their exams as schools were closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
