In a captivating journey, a community of nomadic sea gypsies, the Sama Dilaut, is discovered on the shores of Sabah, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Forced to leave their sea-dwelling life due to conflicts, environmental degradation, and the rise of commercial fishing, they face displacement, lack of basic human rights, and the harsh reality of statelessness. Amidst their struggle to survive and find one meal each day, they remain unaware of the looming threat that endangers their very existence—climate change.

Call to Action:

https://borneochildaid.org/ Borneo Child Aid is providing education for 2000 marginalized and stateless children in Sabah, Malaysia and in Tawi-Tawi, Philippines. The Society presently operates 20 Children's Centres on remote islands and in town areas on Borneo and in the province of Tawi-Tawi, Philippines. Presently about 2000 children are enrolled at the centres, and the need is much bigger. Our aim is to expand the centres to more communities and islands and to reach many more of the thousands of children without access to schools.
