TUBACEX encourages EDUCATION for
the most underprivileged children

Thanks to a collaboration agreement with Colabora Birmania, to maintain and support a comprehensive education project for the children of illegal Burmese refugee and immigrant families in Mae Sot (Thailand).

In November 2016 TUBACEX launched, in cooperation with UNICEF, the first social initiative across the Group, helping to promote education for 116,000 boys and girls of the Palghar district in India. Facilitating access to water, sanitation and hygiene, over 1200 schools were able to improve their facilities and hygiene habits to prevent school dropout.

This is an open collaboration program

After that first experience, TUBACEX continued its commitment to promoting children’s education through a comprehensive education project aimed at Burmese boys and girls displaced to Mae Sot, a border village in Thailand. This project was promoted in collaboration with the NGO “Colabora Birmania” which has been supporting schooling for this group besides offering them an opportunity to grow and develop in a safe environment.

Myanmar is one of the poorest and most underdeveloped nations in Southeast Asia. Years of isolation, internal fighting and human rights violations have prevented the country from making progress. Burmese children in Mae Sot who are not in school work illegally in the fields and have no legal identity. This situation makes them vulnerable and likely to become prey to human trafficking mafias.
TUBACEX has decided to promote the continuation of these education programs, financing the costs of the children's entire development cycle: orphanage, nursery, education and support in finding work on reaching adulthood.  
To guarantee project success, TUBACEX has opened the scheme to all employees and other stakeholders to contribute to improving the children situation in this region through education, a fundamental and universal right.
