Romaina and her classmates:

✨ Became fluent in reading and writing their own language, within months!
📈 Scored 82% higher on their post-pilot exam than non-Hanifi students
🌍 Are excited to see us expanding Hanifi lessons to thousands of other Rohingya children

On #InternationalDayOfEducation, meet Romaina, 1 of 800 Rohingya children who took part in our Hanifi pilot in Kutupalong refugee camp. She says, “Hanifi is much easier to read, write, speak, memorise, and understand!”
