I have proposed UNHCR a similar BUT much better and wider plan for all the refugees around the world, about 5-6 years ago.
I sent through e-mails, registered posts and by-hand to one of the Malay lady officer who visited my clinic.
They never show any interest nor any response at all. Seem to fall on deaf ears and there was a deafening silence from the UNHCR.

I will search and give the links of my proposal below as comments.
