As temperatures soar in countries like Cambodia and Bangladesh, children are facing unprecedented challenges due to extreme heat. With temperatures reaching as high as 38 degrees Celsius, students like 11-year-old Sek Seila are experiencing disruptions in their education, with schools closing and lessons being canceled.
The lack of proper cooling resources in schools, such as fans and air conditioning, has left millions of children vulnerable to health risks like dehydration and heat stroke. In countries like Bangladesh, where a recent heatwave affected over 33 million children, the situation is particularly dire for those in rural areas without access to essential resources for remote learning.
