"I don't have any friends after moving here. I only have my dogs."
— Girl, 12. Gelmol Relief Camp, Churachandpur.

Three years after ethnic violence erupted in Manipur, thousands of children remain in IDP relief camps cut off from schools, friends, and stability.

Her answer: not short-term interventions that disappear when funding ends — but sustained human connection, community-based care, and trusted adults who remain present.

FRESH FROM THE PRESS!
In her latest piece in Article 15, Dr. Evelyn asks the harder question beyond emergency relief, what do Manipur's displaced children really need?

Less than 1% of global humanitarian aid reaches mental health. In displacement settings like Cox's Bazar, where over a million Rohingya people are navigating life after forced migration, mental health needs are compounded by loss, legal limbo, & fragmented health systems.

[ETCH @ETCHCS]

1 in 5 people in crisis zones live with a mental health condition. Less than 2% receive any care.

This isn't a knowledge gap. The evidence on what works has existed for decades. It is a resourcing gap, a prioritisation gap, and in many humanitarian settings a political gap.

World Water Day 2026 | Water & Gender
Women and girls spend 200 million hours every day collecting water. That's 200 million hours not spent in school, not spent earning, not spent resting.
Water isn't just an environmental issue. It's a gender issue. A development & health issue

Billions are invested in social change every year.
Most of that impact? Never measured.
Not because of a lack of funding. Not effort. Not care.
The real gap is evidence and that's exactly what we work on.

Women-led. Global South-based. Independently minded.

Cox's Bazar is home to one of the world's largest concentrations of Forcibly Displaced Myanmar Nationals. They offer a glimpse into the everyday environments in which over a million Rohingya people are navigating life under prolonged displacement.

What the images capture is not just hardship. They trace something quieter: a child drawing what she remembers as home. A group of children finding a patch of sunlight to sit in together & a boy tucked behind a television, making sense of a world that shifted without warning.
