Programs in Bangladesh
BREF supports educational assistance to over 7000 Rohingya children provided by Children On The Edge (COTE) in Kutupalaong refugee camp, the slums of Cox's Bazar, the Dohazari Enclaves, and Basan Char Island. COTE has had significant recent success developing a written script for Rohingya students in their native tongue.
Programs in Thailand Projects
As the influx of refugees has increased in response to renewed war in Myanmar, BREF has adapted and expanded our support for effective projects that support refugee students. Successfully passing the American GED exam allows students who did not go to high school in Thailand qualify for university admission.
Programs in Thailand
Scholarships: BREF distributed a total of 95 scholarships in 2024 to students from Myanmar studying in Thailand. 41 scholarships were at the university level, 44 scholarships were awarded for high school students in the Mae Sot region and 10 scholarships were awarded for study at the Phayao Technical College.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More
The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.
Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.
We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.
Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.
If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.
Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.
If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
