Established in 2017, Bee Humble is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit, built on the conviction that every person deserves a life filled with hope, happiness, and dignity. Bee Humble is dedicated to inspiring hope and restoring dignity by contributing to the well-being of the World’s most vulnerable people.
In November 2017, our founder Ryah Wang traveled to Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, to help refugees that were arriving from the genocide that was unfolding mere miles over the border in Myanmar. At the time of the genocide the greatest need was that of a general health clinic and therapeutic feeding shelter to assist malnourished children regain their strength. Through our local partner organization, Bee Humble was able to:
• Financially support 25 newborn babies and their families
• Provide day-care treatment to 1,260 starving babies
• Provide general medical services to 17,846 children, women and the elderly including about 10% of the host community
• Initiated a deworming program that distributed deworming Tablet/Liquid and ORS to 71,317 people.
As the end of 2018 neared it became apparent that the acute emergency had ended and the needs of the people had changed. Interestingly enough, their needs started to sound familiar. They started requesting things that weren’t being distributed by the large NGO’s. Things like cooking spices, feminine products, pillows, and makeup, secondary clothing for “special occasions”, infant mattresses, toys for their children, and cloth diapers just to name a few.
And the idea for the future of Bee Humble was born, living beyond survival.
How we work with local partner organizations:
1. learn and work together side by side to promote inclusion
2. Our projects allow for host communities to earn income, (thus easing tensions over the extra strain on local resources)
3. Our projects aim to make daily life more dignified by distributing items that increase physical comfort inside the refugee camps.
