A girl with an education doesn’t just change her own life…she also changes the lives of her family and community!
Maiya School believes that education will not only transform the lives of our students, but of their families and wider Rohingya refugee community – by bringing up a generation of girls who are educated, empowered, and motivated to advocate for their rights and future.
Our mission
Maiya School is motivated to increase opportunities, raise self-confidence, and inspire a generation of girls living in refugee camps where female education is largely inaccessible.
We empower girls and women through gender-transformative education and livelihoods programs that are tailored to the community’s needs and address the gendered challenges of conflict and crisis.
