REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Rohingya refugees in Blang Adoe, North Aceh will soon get a more decent place to live. Most of them will stay in the Integrated Community Shelter (ICS) with the help of Fast Response Action (ACT).

"We will train them for raising cows and goats. In addition, freshwater fish cultivation, this is a sustainable program for their future," said Anca in Blang Adoe, North Aceh, on Friday, July 3.

The mothers, he said, when moved to the ICS could cook their favorite menus in the common kitchen. In addition they will also be given toilet training because they are not able to use the toilet properly.

"They will also be taught about reproductive health, women's health. This is all important to be taught," he said.
