Rohingya Refugee Relief Fund

Thank you for your generous contribution to the Rohingya Refugee Relief Fund. Donations to this GlobalGiving fund continue to make a difference for Rohingya as they experience violence, sudden onset disasters, and uncertainty.

Since our last update, we have made three emergency grants to high-impact, community-led nonprofit organizations, all thanks to your support. Our partner organizations work across Bangladesh, with a focus on Cox’s Bazar, the largest Rohingya refugee camp in the world.

These financial resources are vital as Rohingya face increasingly limited access to basic needs like food and healthcare amid drastic cuts to foreign aid. 

Here is a short description of some of the critical work you’ve supported:  

• Hope Foundation for Women & Children is delivering lifesaving healthcare to women and children across Rohingya refugee camps within Bangladesh, including Cox’s Bazar, actively preventing major disease outbreaks by distributing masks, water purification tablets, soaps, and prenatal vitamins. When resources allow, the Hope Foundation team also offers food to pregnant women, critical care for newborns, and treatment for patients with complex health issues. 

• Disable Development & Educational Foundation is serving Rohingya refugees with disabilities, providing medical care, mental health support, food, assistive devices, and other supplies. They continue to provide critical programming and support during increased need for the often overlooked and underfunded disability community. 

• Mobile Mini Circus for Children (MMCC)is providing an important service to children: fun, entertainment, and play! Their exciting Circus of Hope offers engaging and playful opportunities for learning, social development, trauma therapy, art, and fun. More than 500,000 children living in Cox’s Bazar are experiencing hunger, poor living conditions, violence, and a lack of educational opportunities, making any chance to experience joy and play invaluable.

Your generosity continues to fuel community-led efforts that address both the immediate and long-term needs of the Rohingya people, even as lasting solutions remain out of immediate reach.

Thank you for standing with us and for standing with the Rohingya people.

With immense gratitude,

Thank you for your generous contribution to the Rohingya Refugee Relief Fund. Your generosity continues to make a difference for the Rohingya people as they face displacement, violence, and unexpected disasters across their communities in South Asia. 

Since our last update, your contributions have powered three emergency grantsto high-impact, community-led nonprofits. These partners are working across Bangladesh and Indonesia, providing essential services, including food distribution, educational training, and healthcare in a way that promotes dignity and helps address the trauma the Rohingya endured.

Here is a short description of some of the critical work you’ve supported: 

• OBAT Helpers is equipping communities with the knowledge and resources to create lasting solutions to the ongoing challenges of the climate crisis and displacement. By partnering with local NGOs in Bangladesh, OBAT is connecting youth communities to courses on sustainable solutions to climate change that they can help implement in their communities now and well into the future. The organization also continues to provide refugees with emergency relief such as food, shelter, and clothing following this summer’s surge in flooding across the region. 

• Hope Foundation for Women & Children is delivering lifesaving healthcare services in Cox’s Bazaar and other Rohingya refugee camps within Bangladesh. This includes distributing PPE masks, water purification tablets, soap, prenatal vitamins, and superfoods to address the health and protection needs of the Rohingya.

• Yayasan Dompet Dhuafa Republika is providing nutritious meals, hygiene kits, medical care, and emergency assistance to the Rohingya across Indonesia. This includes aid to refugees in Aceh, where, this past October, several boats of Rohingya refugees arrived after fleeing violence and discrimination in Bangladesh and beyond.

Your support of the GlobalGiving Rohingya Refugee Relief Fund continues to power community-led responses like these that are addressing the urgent needs of Rohingya while planting the seeds for sustainable solutions that will grow over time. 

Here is what one grant recipient wanted you to know about the impact of your donation:

“We operate one of the few lifesaving field hospitals for Rohingya refugee women that can provide lifesaving maternal services such as c-sections. The  work we can offer directly depends on [these] generous grants and donations.” - Johanna, Hope Foundation for Women & Children

With the Rohingya continuing to be deprived of the right to dignity and denied access to essential services, GlobalGiving remains committed to serving Rohingya refugees with your help. 

Thank you. We could not do it without you.

With gratitude,
