OUR INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS - Rohingyan Refugees

The Rohingya are a stateless Muslim minority in Myanmar. The latest exodus began on 25 August 2017, when violence broke out in Myanmar’s Rakhine State, driving more than 742,000 to seek refuge in Bangladesh.

In 2017, after violence erupted in Myanmar, over 700,000 people were forced to flee their homes with nothing.

Families endured treacherous journeys, and many lost loved ones along the way.

Those who survived are now living in the world’s largest refugee camp in Bangladesh, which has one of the most severe cyclone and monsoon seasons in the world.
