Bee Humble is a US based nonprofit focused on providing relief to refugee communities. In partnership with OBAT, Bee Humble ran a small pilot project to provide infant kits/cribs to the female beneficiaries of the OBAT Rohingya Clinic. 25 units of the kits were made as a pilot. The kits contained items such as baby clothes, baby mattresses, mosquito nets etc. The project has served as a tool for empowering Rohingya refugees as the bamboo cases for the cribs are made by them. All sewing work is also done by Rohingya women who have earlier received training from OBAT’s Women Empowerment Center. The pilot phase of the project finished in July and is expected to continue with further support from Bee Humble.
The project proceeded to phase one of preparation of the kits. These will be presented by our medical team in the camp health sector meeting. Distribution will soon follow based on referrals from other health posts.
