Follow-up Story of JTS\u2019s Gas Stove Donation to the Rohingya Refugees<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2019, JTS provided 100,000 gas stoves to the Rohingya refugees<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the time, 700,000 refugees who escaped the genocide in Myanmar were living in the Rohingya refugee camp in Cox\u2019s Bazar, Bangladesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The UN World Food Programme (WFP) provided the refugees with food, and the refugees cut down trees to cook the food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This caused deforestation around the refugee camp, and women and children had to walk far to gather firewood, which exposed them to sexual assault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, cooking with firewood inside a closed space created excess smoke, which caused various health problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The gas stoves provided by JTS helped 500,000 refugees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Since women and children don\u2019t have to gather firewood, they are now much safer. Also, children have time to study and play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three years later\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three years have passed since the gas stoves were delivered to the Rohingya refugees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When JTS volunteers revisited the refugee camp in 2022, they were impressed by the green forest that has regrown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
In October last year, upon receiving a request from the UN for additional gas stoves, JTS visited manufacturers in Dhaka, Bangladesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In March of this year, JTS signed a contract to purchase 100,000 gas stoves. The manufacturing and the delivery of the gas stoves are expected to be completed around July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We hope that the second shipment of the gas stoves are delivered safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After arriving in Bangladesh, Ven. Pomnyun Sunim headed for a meeting at the UNHCR\u2019s Cox\u2019s Bazar office, to receive a breakdown of the present situation at the refugee camp: \u201cAbout a million Rohingya refugees are living in Cox\u2019s Bazar. Of these, 97 per cent reside in the Cox\u2019s Bazar camp, while the remaining 3 per cent live on Bhasan Char Island. The main reason for moving to Bhasan Char Island is the safer security environment,\u201d the UNHCR\u2019s senior operations coordinator explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOver the past two years, the security situation in the camp has significantly deteriorated. Conflicts between various criminal organizations within the camp have doubled the crime rate, severely compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDue to budget cuts by the World Food Programme, the monthly food support per person decreased from US$12 to US$8 last year. Although the support amount recovered to US$12.50 at the beginning of this year, the reduction had a serious impact on the nutritional status in the camp. For example, the malnutrition rate in 2023 was 15.1 per cent, exceeding the threshold of 15 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMost of the housing in the camp consists of temporary structures made of bamboo and tarpaulin. The Bangladesh government maintains a policy that all refugees must return to Myanmar, so it does not allow long-term and durable housing improvement measures.\u201d (Jungto Society)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Korean Seon (Zen) master and engaged Buddhist Venerable Pomnyun Sunim, founder and chairman of the international relief organization Join Together Society (JTS), led a team of volunteers to Bangladesh on 2 December to deliver 6.36 million bars of soap to a refugee camp that is home to hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims who have fled persecution and violence in neighboring Myanmar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This latest donation follows the earlier success of the JTS relief project, when, in September 2022 and January 2019, Ven. Pomnyun Sunim led aid representatives to deliver consignments of gas stoves for refugees in Cox\u2019s Bazar, a district of Bangladesh\u2019s Chittagong Division.* <\/p>\n\n\n\n
