Under the SOLAR initiative, 325 interested participants from Camp 11 will receive practical, market-oriented technical training in Tailoring and Dress Making, Block Printing and Batik, Mobile Phone Servicing, Gas Burner Repair, and Climate-Smart Agriculture. In addition, 675 participants will receive soft skills training designed to strengthen their communication, teamwork, problem-solving, workplace behavior, and other essential life and employability skills. Speaking at the inauguration, Mr. Md. Shariful Islam, Camp-in-Charge of Camp 11, said, “Skills development and practical livelihood training can play an important role in strengthening the capacity and self-reliance of the Rohingya community. Initiatives such as SOLAR will help participants develop practical skills and prepare themselves for future livelihood opportunities.” Mr. Md.

Through the SOLAR initiative, we aim to strengthen their capacity, resilience, and prospects for sustainable livelihoods.” The SOLAR initiative seeks to complement humanitarian assistance with skills development and livelihood-focused interventions, enabling Rohingya community members to build practical capacities and strengthen their resilience in the face of prolonged displacement and changing circumstances. With the support of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Bangladesh and the initiative of Impact Initiative, the SOLAR program is expected to contribute to skills development, livelihood opportunities, and greater self-reliance among members of the Rohingya community.

Impact Initiative organized a Free Health Camp on 29 August 2026 at Nazirbari, Chandgaon, Chattogram, bringing essential healthcare services closer to an underserved urban community. The health camp provided free medical consultations, medicines, blood grouping, diabetes testing, and access to medical investigations at a reduced cost. A team of three specialized doctors and one general physician provided consultations in Medicine, Pediatrics & Rheumatic Pain, and Gynecology & Ultrasonography. Key Services Provided 312 patients received free medical consultations. 312 beneficiaries received free medicines. 22 people received free blood grouping. 16 people received free diabetes/sugar tests. 2 people accessed medical investigations at a 40% discounted rate. Despite heavy rainfall and flooding, which temporarily interrupted the camp for approximately one hour, the event was successfully completed with strong support and active participation from the local community. For many families living in the area, accessing quality healthcare remains a significant challenge due to financial and other barriers. The health camp was an important step toward making essential healthcare services more accessible, affordable, and inclusive for vulnerable communities. Through initiatives like this, Impact Initiative remains committed to bringing essential healthcare closer to people who need it most and contributing to healthier and more resilient communities.
